From Google Books: “Some people are born to lead and teach--not by precept, but by living life to the fullest. Peter Barton was that person. He protested at Columbia University in the 1960s, played soul music at Harlem's Apollo Theater, was a ski bum and craps dealer, and emerged from Harvard Business School to become a central figure in creating cable TV. In the prime of his life, happily married and the father of three children, Peter faced a major challenge in a life filled with risk-taking and direction-changing. Diagnosed with cancer, he began a journey frightening and appalling, yet full of wonder and discovery. This memoir recreates that journey in intimate and alternating voices of Peter and Laurence Shames--two men close in age who chose different lives. In a spirit of deepening friendship, they relived the high points of years that embodied the hopes and strivings of an entire generation. With courage, candor and humor, they found meaning in Peter's mortality. An overachiever, Peter was a vibrant spirit who showed peers how much is possible. In dying, he redefined the quiet tasks of seeking clarity amid pain and loss and broke through to a personal secular faith and achieved peace at last.” Shipped via USPS Media Mail
