About
This book narrates the story of an ordinary man's journey through life, written in a voice that is relatable and accessible. From an economically disadvantaged youth, the author guides the reader through a life filled with happiness, danger, injury, grief, and success. He survived the challenges of being taught by Catholic nuns, his father's drug addiction, several serious accidents, a tour of duty in Vietnam, financial struggles, and the loss of his son. Overcoming many obstacles, J. David Joyce achieved the "American Dream" of middle-class success, which includes a solid marriage, wonderful children, homeownership, advanced education, and worldwide travel. He enjoyed a twenty-year career in the Air Force, working in foreign intelligence collection, serving as a counselor to veterans, performing the duties of an IRS agent, and concluding his working life as an accountant. His rebellion against organized religion and a near-death experience complicated a life already filled with constant change. This well-written, easy-to-read page-turner is suitable for readers of all ages and stages in life, whether for entertainment or inspiration regarding what can be accomplished in the face of adversity.
