Publisher's Synopsis
This memoir will give you not only a sense of Graten Beaver's life, but also of life in his time. Rooted in a close entrepreneurial family in small-town Nebraska in the 1950s and 1960s, he learned early the importance of hard work, education, and service. He started out sweeping the sidewalk in front of his parent's grocery store, worked his way through college, and progressed into a multi-dimensional law career. In this book you'll read about how he saved the life of another boy at the age of 17 and years later comforted a teenage boy in the last moments of life. You'll also experience the drama-and humor-of the courtroom and meet a man devoted to excellence and perseverance who bets on himself, is a world traveler, and revels in outdoor adventures with friends and family.
