The Journey: Memoirs of a South Side Chicago kind of guy

This book is my life! Reading it is not for the faint of heart! Hide it from your children. I'm a guy who wears many "hats" in life, so I think you might be interested in my "journey". You ask about me? I'm a rough-and-tumble city guy from the South-side of Chicago. I managed to pull myself up from poverty and make a pretty darn good living for myself. I also managed to become an alcoholic. Above all else, my story is about overcoming adversity. My redemption comes from honesty and love.

5Great book  May 16, 2008
By GRSEBBY "GRS"
This book is a great read. I have been to SIU several times and completely agree that it is a paradise. Such a fun town with a whole different atmosphere then anywhere else I've visited. I would have loved to go to one of Rich's parties. I was a fan of Rich's art before I read the book. After learning about his life and experiences I now look at his art from a different view and it makes it even better. You will learn that Rich is not a man that will ever give up which is great for us as we can expect a lot more to come.

5Inspiring and entertaining  May 09, 2008
By Paula Ramirez "PollyPearsol"
This book is life inspiring. It is an american experience of a hard union working man with values that seem to be escaping todays work ethic. It is entertaining and sexy. I couldn't put the book down.

5Digging up Gold.  Aug 27, 2010
By Mike Campbell "TheManInTheCUBE"
Richard Cronborg excavates the years and decades of his Life revealing unexpected truths and beauty much like a machine operator doing dirt work in clay sometimes unearths an unexpected swirl of colors with his blade. Cronborg shows that beneath the prose of our lives -- the first car, college parties, first time jobs, carousing dates, marriages, fatherhood, family, layoffs, losses , failures, victories, illnesses, and deaths --there is a hidden crisp poetry. And, it's worth our time to read it.

I couldn't put the book down, but had to sleep so I set my clock to get up 90 minutes early the next morning so I could finish this treasure
