Biographies

My Ride Through Life traces the author’s family roots and follows the winding path of his early life, transporting the reader back to the world of Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the 1960s and ‘70s, and navigating the neighborhoods of Boston in the 1980s and ‘90s. Along the way, he raises important and universal questions: How do our families and communities influence our views on race and rights, class and culture? In what ways do our curiosities and insecurities affect the direction we take in life? What aspects of our identities are essential to who we are?

In this fun, honest, and thought-provoking memoir, Anthony Beckwith uses lively anecdotes and a conversational style to share his story and invite readers to reflect on the sources of their own identities. Insightful, warm, and full of unexpected turns, My Ride Through Life will resonate with readers of all ages and backgrounds.
