AND YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD BE GLAD A True Story of Friendship

Some are lucky enough to have lifelong friends whose companionship is golden. This is such a story. Journalist and bestselling author Bob Greene recounts how he and four friends grew up together in Ohio, where they built a rich collection of memories to draw upon forever. When Greene's best friend, Jack, was diagnosed with terminal cancer at 57, the group of devastated friends reunited and recounted their past together in order to deal with their future. Greene has an infectious and relaxed storytelling style that makes the listener comfortable immediately as he intermingles endearing and comical stories from his youth with heartbreaking details of Jack's struggle. It's as true an account of friendship as one could ever hope to hear. B.J.P. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 06]
