The Boys: A Memoir of Hollywood and Family
'Happy Days', 'The Andy Griffith Show', 'Gentle Ben', these shows captivated millions of TV viewers in the ’60s and ’70s. Award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard and audience-favorite actor Clint Howard invite readers into their lives with The Boys, as they frankly and fondly share their unusual family story about navigating and surviving life as sibling child actors.
A surprising, funny, and heartwarming story of an all-American family whose kids just happened to grow up on television, The Boys is by turns confessional, nostalgic, heartwarming, and harrowing as it lifts the lid on the Howard brothers' closely held lives to illustrate the journey of a tight four-person family unit that held fast in an unforgiving business and of two brothers who survived “child-actor syndrome” to become fulfilled adults.
"I have read dozens of Hollywood memoirs. But The Boys stands alone. A delightful, warm and fascinating story of a good life in show business.” -- Malcolm Gladwell, author of Bomber Mafia, What the Dog Saw, Talking to Strangers, and Blink
