This is a very entertaining yet thought-provoking book, filled with love and joy of living. Willie Gruenwald relates the story of his father, a Holocaust survivor, who emigrated from Germany to Peru, but this book is not just a historical or biographical text. The author's aim is to reflect, with appreciation and gratitude, on the lessons he learned from his father, from religion to school work to family vacations, lessons that have molded his life. After his father died, when Gruenwald had just turned 16, his mentors included his mother as well as several of his parents' cousins who took him under their wings. The lessons he learned have not been forgotten. They continue to inspire and teach him lessons that have been a major influence on Gruenwald's political and philosophical views.
