Publisher's Summary

In Life Is So Good, read by Emmy Award nominee LeVar Burton, George Dawson shares his unique wisdom about survival, joy, people, and the hidden beauty of growing old. Now 101, he has witnessed a century of change. We hear the history of America as seen through his eyes - race relations in the South, the World Wars, the invention of the automobile, and other historic events. Though he was only eight years old when he left home to work on a white family's farm, he took with him his parents' positive outlook - based on appreciating what he had, the wise observance of others, and common sense. Dawson's story offers a moving prescription for a satisfying and meaningful life.

Life is still good

I 1st read this book in my mid 20’s (in my 40’s now) lent the book and it was never returned, understandably as it’s that good. I was so happy to see it had been made an audio book. This really should have been a movie by now. Well worth the read/listen. To hear the story of what it was like to travel in his time with such diversity and to think how people complain about the convenience they have today. Ha.
Beautiful lessons in life throughout the book.
