Book’s Pages Hit Home
Hello Kevin. I’ve meant to send you an email that I read your book – One Hit Wonder. The book’s pages hit home in so many ways for me. Your life experiences/lessons reminded me of myself in some ways. My wife Pat and I believe that we are in the age group you are. God willing this Halloween I’ll be 68 years old. If you ever have a book signing you’d see me in the line. Thank you for bringing this book into the world. It was a blessing to me. Pat and I have warm thoughts about you and Lorraine. As you asked in your book “what else is there to life?” you wrote you didn’t know exactly but you thought “a big part is living”. Thanks for the kick in my back end.

One Hit-Wonder is a remarkable memoir that delivers life lessons with page-turning humor and irreverence. As the grandson of Irish immigrants and the eldest of six, Kevin Kehoe survived Catholic school, two marriages, job terminations, motorcycle crashes, and entrepreneurial highs and lows. When he received a cancer diagnosis near the end of a successful business career, he found himself confronting his mortality and thinking about the meaning of success and the power of friendship and love. An absorbing read that shows a risk-taking maverick, driven by Catholic guilt, managing the craziness, comedy, and adversity of life. A series of “aha” moments lead from one major life transition to the next. One of the highlights of the book is the author’s daredevil stunt on the slopes of Mt. Fuji.

Engaging and Eloquent Memoir
I’ve just finished reading One Hit Wonder, your engaging and eloquent memoir. After reading the first few chapters, I decided to read the remainder of the memoir a chapter a day, a way that reflected your structure for the memoir, where each chapter at once read like an independent memoir itself while contributing to the collective of the memoir. I read the chapters in the late afternoons, by the fire, looking forward to doing so all day.
Nuggets of Wisdom
Why read this book?” Because, within this cloak of an “ordinary life” lies nuggets of wisdom that serve as inspiring models for those who also seek to live better, more engaged, effective lives. With life lessons (and rules) supported (by) morals, ethics, and positive approaches Kehoe honed in his life, readers receive a vivid portrait that juxtaposes his life experience and lessons with pointers for “doing life better.”
