Mr. Lawford:

I could not put your book down. Stand proud and know that you have accomplished a very great thing.

I was especially moved by your dedication of your sobriety to your father and David Kennedy. I don't think we will ever know in this life why some addicts die and others can get themselves through it.

Good Luck with your career, it looks like you have some great movies in the making and if time allows, write another book. Writing is obviously one of your talents. While I was moved to tears at times, I also had a few great laughs.

Congratulations and God Bless you,


Mary McCarthy
