Life Is So Good

Even in his late nineties, George Dawson continues to learn and grow. He says that he regrets never learning to read as a boy, but that he has since managed to teach himself and become an avid reader. His secret, he says, is that his father instilled in him a positive attitude about life. In this remarkable book, George recalls how his father, despite hardships, always believed in seeing the richness in life and trained his children to do the same. As a boy, George had to go to work to help support the family and so he did not attend school or learn to read; however, he describes how he learned to read the world and survive in it.
