Book excerpt: Keeping the Promise is a collection of fifty stories about the author’s personal experiences. From encounters with interesting people like Muhammad Ali, President Clinton, Anna Anderson, who claimed to be the daughter of the Tsar of Russia, and Harold Swanson, Hollywood’s first literary agent, to coming to grips with life and death decisions, the trauma of aging, the heartbreak of dementia, the burden of representing a death row defendant, and the angst of enduring a pandemic, these stories span the spectrum of human emotion. They make you laugh and they make you cry, often at the same time, as each essay offers a different perspective on the art of living a long full life.
