Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Eric Sigward writes: "Higher education, sport and motorcycles, these are the roads I traveled, looking for personal satisfaction. The early story covers attitudes and accomplishments that are a great part of the American Dream. Conversely, the development of a cumulative sense of evil as I slid into misused sex, drugs and misdirected spiritual interest eventually led me to the God of grace."

Aus dem Klappentext

From Harvard to Hell and Back is Eric Sigward's autobiography which details his days as a star athlete and respected student at Horace Mann, and continues throughout his academic career at Harvard and Trinity College in Cambridge during the tumultuous 1960's and 70's. Sigward leaves nothing out, discussing his self-described "misuse of sex, drugs and misdirected spiritual interest." His story of perseverance also describes his escape from a hedonistic life-style and his eventual discovery of the "God of grace." The book is divided into four sections: Horace Mann School for Boys, Harvard University, Cambridge University and Stanford University, and contains 20 pages of photographs that encourage the reader to connect with the people and places in Sigward's young life.
