He walked out on Hollywood walked out of a shattered marriage defied the courts and broke and an outlaw set sail with his four children in the schooner Wanderer-bound for the South Seas.

It is the candid sometimes painfully revealing confession of a man who scrutinized his every self-defeat and self-betrayal in the unblinking light of conscience. It is also the triumph of a complex and contradictory man a rebel and a seeker undefeated by his failure to find himself in love adventure drink or escape to the South Seas. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
