Ebook: American on purpose: the improbable adventures of an unlikely patriot

Craig Ferguson delivers a moving and achingly funny memoir of living the American dream as he journeys from the mean streets of Glasgow, Scotland, to the entertainment capital of the world. Along the way he stumbled through jobs as a punk-rock musician, modern dancer, bouncer, construction worker, and stand-up comedian. To numb the failure, he found comfort in addictions that eventually led to an aborted suicide attempt. (He forgot to do it when someone offered him a beer).
