I had a lot of admiration and respect for Governor Andrew Cuomo even before I read his memoir. Now, all of my feelings have been completely validated and magnified a thousandfold. I found this book compelling from the very first page, and by the end I felt like I knew him like a friend. I wept when reading about all the terrible things he has been through during his 'dark night of the soul'. His incredible comeback, culminating in his successful run for Governor of New York, was inspirational and uplifting. This is a man who has devoted his life to making the world a better place, and the way he has handled this terrible pandemic is exemplary. He has been a beacon of hope, not just for the people of New York, but to people all over the world. I pray that he will have many more years to continue his mission.
