RAVES for RIVER
of NO RETURN
“[A] masterfully
rendered biography. Ford’s ability to stay both honest and impartial make this a
compulsively readable story, and a fine model for celebrity bios to come. Even
readers unfamiliar with Ford’s massive body of work will find the drama, pain
and success that marked his life fascinating.”
Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
“Other
biographies cannot emit the raw emotion and intimate details…in this
well-written and compelling memoir.”
Library
Journal

“In this
remarkable book, his son Jeffrey Buckner Ford has written a poignant love letter
to his parents, telling their story with unflinching honesty and candor, told in
an extremely well-written book that's impossible to put down. I can't recommend
this book highly enough - truly one of the best books I've ever read!”

Jones
“I was
troubled to read of the realities he faced, but I truly admire the author's
ability to tell the truth and still honor Ernie and Betty Ford. The Tennessee
Ernie Ford of my imagination must now make room for the Ernest Ford of reality.
This book has transformed my idolizing into true admiration for a man of
complexity and talent.”
David
Gladstone
