Robert is a man with many "lives": a son, navy officer, a student, a professor, a peace corps volunteer, veterinary hospital owner, husband, and a father. Through his memoir, Robert tells how he overcame his challenges with learning and recounts his experiences and how the people he met impacted so many parts of his life. He recounts how his short time in Colombia as a Peace Corps volunteer greatly influenced how he saw the world and how he lived for the rest of his life. The Latino culture continued to be an important part of his life and family even today.
