A fascinating memoir of life with literary icon John Steinbeck, written by his late son and completed by his daughter-in-law. The late son of John Steinbeck, John Steinbeck IV, labored under the burden of being the son of a 20th century legend, yet persevered to become a respected journalist in his own right. Left unfinished by his death, this memoir of John Steinbeck IV is reconstructed by his wife of twelve years, who interweaves her own memories of life with him.
