Some people spend a lifetime searching for where they came from. Peter Shatner spent his searching for who he was.
Born and given up for adoption within five days, raised in suburban New Jersey, and dropped into a therapeutic community in Hell's Kitchen at fifteen, Peter Shatner's life has been defined by the search for identity - biological, emotional, and spiritual. From the brutal corridors of Veritas House to the set of a Hollywood television series, from the insurance offices of New Jersey to the courtrooms of Tampa, this memoir traces one man's extraordinary journey toward the truth of his own origins.
Funny, raw, and quietly devastating, Peter Shatner: A Memoir is the story of an unfinished boy who spent a lifetime trying to become real.
