The last of the last of the great big families, Canadian magazine editor and writer Peter Carter is the youngest of 10 and has spent the past half century trying to make sense of his charmed life, in stories that take you from the rear pews of St. Clement's Church to the front rows of cheap strip clubs. Storyworthy, 's a grab bag of slices of life, gems of advice, sprinkled with humor. Storyworthy is a recipe for optimism.
