“The Missing Lifeguard: A Young Man’s Reckless Journey from Youthful Innocence to  Bold Maturity” is the true story of an Irish Italian kid from South Philadelphia, living the lifeguard dream on the Jersey Shore and in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The story starts in 1967 and spans many years, from youthful innocence to bold maturity. More like an adventure story than a biography, with love, sex, drugs, smuggling, near-death experiences, bank robbery, kidnappings, and murders. But still a heartwarming love story, with humor, heartthrobs, heartbreak, and a feel-good ending. The author tells it like it was.
