James McGrath has spent his days spreading the word that life is a precious gift to be enjoyed at every opportunity. Now, he offers his autobiography to illustrate this magnificent truth. Given that a country doctor told his parents that their newborn baby had no chance of surviving, it’s no wonder he feels lucky to be alive! In The Dodsworth Lane Man, McGrath describes his wondrous journey, beginning as an Irish descendant from a small town; moving to a farm in Campbell County, Kentucky; and ultimately ending up in Phoenix, Arizona. Despite many hardships while growing up on the isolated farm during the Great Depression, young James manages to find work—albeit surreptitiously—in the city and begin to experience a better life. His diverse experiences include nearly half a century in the supermarket business, an eight-year stint in the US Naval Reserve that sees him visiting pre-Castro Cuba, and seven years as a sworn law enforcement officer. Driving home how life is all about how we handle our circumstances, James shares entertaining stories about unexpected encounters with celebrities—and poignant examples of discovering beauty through tragedy. It’s the life. The legend. The Dodsworth Lane Man!
