Pardon Me: the memoir of a reasonable man

James Gordon is a natural-born storyteller who happened to live the kind of life that produces endless stories that sound a lot like tall tales. He knows triumph and defeat like the back of his hand, but most importantly, he knows how to press forward. Gordon’s story is one of perseverance and redemption, spanning seven decades, two states, a medical career, romance, fatherhood, twenty years of hard labor, and a gubernatorial pardon. Over the course of his life, Gordon has discovered the key ingredients to making a miracle, and has decided to share them, along with his stories, experiences, and knowledge of America’s IN-justice system.
