I wrote this book in hopes that the reader will find a way out of trying to live the lives that others project onto us, Steve Gruman writes in his introduction to Good Enough. In this collage of stories from his life, Gruman shares his fascinating journey toward self-discovery, a journey that takes him through homelessness in Miami, a farming commune in South Carolina, and eventually all the way to a shipping crate on the edge of a homeless community in Hawaii, resulting in a rich tapestry of experiences and hard-earned wisdom.
