A Dedicated Life

Carefully selected by Mitchell Kaplan for the Books & Books imprint, this inspirational memoir comes at a time when people need to be reminded about the importance of serving others and the importance of the role of journalists as truth tellers and bastions of our democracy. From his start at the St. Petersburg Times to his time as an editor at the Washington Post to his career-capping leadership as publisher of the Miami Herald, David brought integrity to the field, and to Florida journalism in particular. David Lawrence's work took him all over the globe and his list of interviews reads like a Who's Who of movers and shakers of the last 60 years of our history. In addition to this exemplar of journalism, Lawrence's book also serves as a how to in founding a nonprofit that can change children's lives for the better and, along with it, our future.
