I finished a book! Quite feat these days (unfortunately).
This is wild one. About six years ago this all front page news, but me in my ignorance just found out about it until now. Clark Rockefeller creates a media frenzy and worldwide search when he kidnapped his young daughter. Quickly it is revealed that this fellow was no Rockefeller. What unravels is the story of how a German immigrant makes it from his native hamlet to the being recognized as a member of one of the richest most elite families in the United States.
Now I'll say I tend to romanticize the idea of the smooth talking drifter able to charm the locals and recreate reality. It's one thing to learn about it through the envisioning of Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can, but it is entirely another to see the raw realty of what such an individual must do to survive. It's quite unsettling to see how the kitchen prepares it cuisine. Yet, you are unable to look away. This story draws you in never stopping to fascinate and astonish.
