Riley Sumner has always enjoyed life's simple pleasures: a hot cup of coffee on a chilly fall morning, a well-hit line drive in softball, or the awe-inspiring beauty of God's creation. In his six-plus decades on this planet, Riley has accumulated a wealth of hilarious and heartwarming stories that have long entertained his family and close friends. In his memoir, Riley looks back on his life through a series of 40 questions covering topics that range from childhood to adulthood, from high school football to fashion faux pas. There's even a chapter about being part of the Secret Service detail for Vice President George H.W. Bush. (Yes, seriously.) The Life of Riley is a love letter to a bygone era-when you left your doors unlocked, and kids played all day in the neighborhood-as well as a reflection on all the ways life turns out better than you ever could've imagined.
