Author Mark K. Shriver will talk about his new book, A Good ManRediscovering My Father, Sargent Shriver.
When Sargent "Sarge" Shriver—founder of the Peace Corps and architect of President Johnson's War on Poverty—dies in 2011 Mark discovers notes and letters from Sarge; hears personal stories from friends and family that zero in on the three guiding principles of Sarge's life—faith, hope, and love—and recounts moments with Sarge that now take on new value and poignancy. In this intimate portrait of an extraordinary father-son relationship, Mark K. Shriver discovers the moral principles that guided his legendary father and applies them to his own life.
