How To Raise a Good Kid, by Starbuck O'Dwyer


Starbuck O'Dwyer's childhood memoir, How to Raise a Good Kid, is so good that I would believe that he is secretly a celebrity memoir ghost writer (Hello? Mindy Kaling? Do you know anything about this?). It would fit nicely with his already impressive list of jobs, including lawyer, radio host, novelist (I've heard great things about Red Meat Cures Cancer) and graduate from every Ivy League school ever. Of course, if his memoir is to be believed, having multiple jobs may be genetic since his father was apparently a military advisor, a deacon, a business owner and a university alumni representative who interviewed screened prospective students. That seems like a lot of things. Through it all, though, his dad's main job was as awesome super dad who, along with his mom, taught young Starbuck invaluable life lessons that still resound today.
