Although written for his grandchildren, you feel like you are walking right beside Robert Giarraffa as he is growing up in Brooklyn, New York during the 1950s and '60s. There are some positive and negative life lessons to be learned, some historical and some hysterical. You also walk along with him and see what it was like working in a pharmaceutical company and get to witness the birth of a new profession, Financial Planning. When Robert looks back on his life, he considers what he calls intelligent dominos somehow guiding his journey.
Perhaps this book will be the catalyst for your own life story.
