...a brilliant and moving autobiography... One that reminds us that the human experience can be quite the wild ride. One filled with sorrow, but also great beauty
Nimoy discusses how ... navigating divorce, loss, and friendships on top of handling his complex relationship with his father took care and the determination to ‘make amends.’
Adam Nimoy’s experiences with recovery and therapy act as a magnifying glass on the learning emotional maturity.
“It was not easy being the son of such an icon as Leonard Nimoy, a man wrestling with his own demons, but Adam Nimoy has succeeded brilliantly in capturing the story of his struggle to function in the chilly shadow of his famous father in simple but evocative prose. The lacerating father-and-son saga bristles with acute observations and painful memories, but remarkably never loses its tender heart. Readers will get much more than they bargained for.”

TESTIMONIALS
“Adam Nimoy writes an incredibly raw portrayal of a father—an icon known by millions around the world—and a son trying to know himself. He is willing to let you into the world he grew up in and had to emerge from. It’s honest and generous of spirit. I found it beautiful and extremely moving.”
— Ben Stiller
“Adam Nimoy offers us a brilliant personal reflection on life and healing that will make us laugh and cry, and will inspire us to rethink our lives. Whether you’re a Leonard Nimoy fan, a Trekkie, or from another planet, you are sure to find this vulnerable, brave, humorous, and intimate story about Spock, the outer limits, a father-son relationship, and teshuvah (recovery and repair) deeply moving.”
