A Path Wide and Narrow: A Memoir - Paperback

by Peter Bourque (Author)

This book is a thoughtful memoir of a 75-year-old, lifelong educator's reflection on life's paths, both wide and narrow. Despite major health setbacks in his 60's, he has remained a teacher and leads an active life.

Peter, my former teaching colleague and longtime friend, is a man of diverse interests and talents. His broad life experiences-serving in the Peace Corps, teaching in Guadeloupe, battling lymphoma, adjusting to life after a severe spinal cord injury, have enabled Peter to see the world through a much broader lens than most. In this memoir, he shares his insights, ideas, and well- formed opinions in an engaging, straightforward way.

It is a story of quiet commitment to service and contributions to his community, infused with his enduring positivity, unwavering sense of justice, and signature good humor. Peter shares a lifetime rich with love, friendship, and remarkable perseverance.
