This memoir traces the life and good times of Jim Lowney, the son of Irish immigrants, who overcame struggles in the classroom and discouragement from some early detractors. Following his dream, Jim would become a passionate journalist. He was an enthusiastic staff photographer on the old Newark Evening News and captured a memorable image of President John F. Kennedy, not long before his assassination. Jim's days and nights as a spot news photographer would bring him into the midst of devastating fires and accidents, vicious murders and violent urban riots. Jim also covered the personal stories of New Jersey's Irish community for more than 30 years for the New York Irish Echo and Philadelphia Irish Edition. After his newspaper career, which included a stint as a New Jersey correspondent for The New York Times, the author would rise in the world of corporate public relations, eventually becoming president of two major New Jersey public relations organizations.

Although there will always be those who don't see potential in a person and cruelly offer them little hope of success, there are still the few good people who have the vision to believe and encourage a struggler.
