Mark Kennedy Shriver (born February 17, 1964) is an American Democratic politician who served as a member of the Maryland House of Delegates for two consecutive terms, from 1995 to 2003. Since 2014, he has served as President of Save the Children Action Network, where he leads an effort to mobilize Americans to end preventable maternal, newborn and child deaths globally and to ensure that every child in the U.S. has access to high-quality early childhood education. He is also Senior Vice President of U.S. Programs & Advocacy of Save the Children. Shriver's career fighting for social justice in advocacy and service organizations, as well as elected office, has focused on advancing the right of every child to a safe and vibrant childhood. Derived from a Kirkus review: The son of Sargent Shriver and Eunice Kennedy Shriver reflects on his father's towering achievements. Being the son of JFK's right arm who first organized and led the Peace Corps, orchestrated LBJ's War on Poverty and ran for president in 1976, The son struggled mightily his whole life under the shadow of a benevolent, famous father, portrayed here as nearly saintly with a sense of humanitarian mission. The elder Shriver served in World War II, attended Yale and started his law career in Chicago. He became an editor at Newsweek, where a felicitous contact with Joe Kennedy got him hired to run Kennedy's Merchandise Mart in Chicago; he eventually married Kennedy's daughter, Eunice. Jack Kennedy and Sargent Shriver had known each other back at School, and Shriver was enlisted to aid Kennedy's campaigns and garner the talent for Kennedy's "best and brightest" Cabinet. A peacemaker, statesman, and head of the Special Olympics. Keeping up with the Kennedys is a major theme in the book, since the Shriver clan spent the holidays at Hyannis Port with the slew of Kennedy relatives and cousins. A fairly straightforward, rueful memoir in which the author achieves frank self-acceptance. First Edition [stated]. First printing [stated]. Elizabeth Kuhner (Jacket photograph) (illustrator).…

Shriver's career fighting for social justice in advocacy and service organizations, as well as elected office, has focused on advancing the right of every child to a safe and vibrant childhood. From Wikipedia: "Robert Sargent "Sarge" Shriver, Jr. (November 9, 1915 January 18, 2011) was an American statesman and activist. As the husband of Eunice Kennedy Shriver, he was part of the Kennedy family, serving in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. Shriver was the driving force behind the creation of the Peace Corps, founded the Job Corps, Head Start and other programs as the "architect" of Johnson's "War on Poverty" and served as the United States Ambassador to France. During the 1972 U.S. presidential election, he was George McGovern's running mate as the Democratic Party's nominee for U.S. Vice President, replacing Thomas Eagleton, who had resigned from the ticket." In this intimate portrait of an extraordinary father-son relationship, Mark K. Shriver discovers the moral principles that guided his legendary father and applies them to his own life. When Sargent "Sarge" Shriverâ"founder of the Peace Corps and architect of President Johnson's War on Povertyâ"died in 2011 after a valiant fight with Alzheimer's, thousands of tributes poured in from friends and strangers worldwide. These tributes, which extolled the daily kindness and humanity of "a good man," moved his son Mark far more than those who lauded Sarge for his big-stage, headline-making accomplishments. After a lifetime searching for the path to his father's success in the public arena, Mark instead turns to a search for the secret of his father's joy, his devotion to others, and his sense of purpose. Mark discovers notes and letters from Sarge; hears personal stories from friends and family that zero in on the three guiding principles of Sarge's lifeâ"faith, hope, and loveâ"and recounts moments with Sarge that now take on new value and poignancy. In the process, Mark discovers much about himself, as a father, as a husband, and as a social justice advocate. A Good Man is an inspirational and deeply personal story about a son discovering the true meaning of his father's legacy. First Edition [stated]. First printing [stated].…
