"How Did I Get Here So Fast?" is Jersey Boy Charles Vanyo's memoir about his adventurous ride through seven decades of life, the paths he's maneuvered and avoided, and how someone belatedly comes to terms with his choices over the years. His memoir recounts many comic and serious episodes that have, he hopes, ultimately made the author into a fully realized human being. It will resonate with anyone who grew up in northern New Jersey during the sixties and seventies, anyone who has had to care for aging parents, and anyone who has reached the age of seventy and wondered how they got there.
