Summary:

"As William Roth was taking his first steps, his family were caught up in the Holocaust. At age eight, he had symptoms of dystonia. At age forty-seven, he was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil. This, his memoir, is the story of three intertwined narratives and the miraculous success that one man carved from them"--Provided by publisher.
