Biography, Autobiography & Memoir

Midway through his new memoir, Life Is a Gift, singer/painter/icon Tony Bennett presents his readers with an “old Chinese proverb:”

“. . . the journey is as compelling as the destination. . . . a role model to those wise enough to use life’s lessons and opportunities to meet present day challenges.”

“To say Master of the Mountain is compelling would be to understate the value of Henry Wiencek’s scholarship.”

“. . . an excruciatingly beautiful love letter to Audrey Hepburn.”

“David Nasaw has succeeded in bringing Joseph P. Kennedy in The Patriarch to life in chilling, in-depth color.”

“. . . thoroughly engrossing.”

“. . . in How Literature Saved My Life, Mr. Shields has written a great book—and one that matters.”

“Moving? At times. Hilarious? Never.”

“. . . tells the story of his rise and details his devotion to singing, writing, and music as art forms.”

“In a voice like none other. . . . perhaps the most ingratiatingly candid of the many celebrity memoirs.”

“. . . a story of life, love, and fulfillment that will linger long after the book has been finished.”
