"""Adam Nimoy colors for us the beauty in learning to be more human, how perfectly worthy the endeavor is. Oftentimes, it can take us longer than expected. And that's okay--wonderful, even."" --Ethan Peck, Spock in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds ""Engaging and immensely relatable, while at the same time offering deeply profound insights into Adam Nimoy's personal relationships, particularly with his famous father. This autobiography surpasses expectations by engaging the reader with examples of basic human communication flaws as well as our potential for reconciliation. Adam's honest and relentless narrative leads to many layers of introspection, taking the reader on his, and perhaps even our own, journey of self-discovery. Ultimately, Adam's honest discussion of how he reconnected with his father provides a cathartic experience that will resonate with anyone and everyone who has experienced challenging family dynamics."" --Eugene Roddenberry Jr., CEO Roddenberry Entertainment ""It was not easy being the son of such an icon as Leonard Nimoy, a man wrestling with his own demons, but Adam Nimoy has succeeded brilliantly in capturing the story of his struggle to function in the chilly shadow of his famous father in simple but evocative prose. The lacerating father-and-son saga bristles with acute observations and painful memories, but remarkably never loses its tender heart. Readers will get much more than they bargained for."" -Nicholas Meyer, writer-director Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, cowriter Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, cowriter, director Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country ""This engaging book avoids the usual pitfalls of celebrity memoir.

He gets away, undamaged but undeceived."" --Diane Johnson, screenwriter of The Shining and author of Le Divorce ""Adam Nimoy offers us a brilliant personal reflection on life and healing that will make us laugh and cry, and will inspire us to rethink our lives. Whether you're a Leonard Nimoy fan, a Trekkie, or from another planet, you are sure to find this vulnerable, brave, humorous, and intimate story about Spock, the outer limits, a father-son relationship, and teshuvah (recovery and repair) deeply moving."" -Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz, author of Pearls of Jewish Wisdom on Living with Kindness"
