Summary:

Recognized the world over for his distinct voice and timeless hits spanning a career of nearly half a century, Wilson is one of the most celebrated musicians of his generation. So it took friends and family by surprise when he checked into rehab and revealed that he had been not only homeless, but also helpless. Here is the story of how love and faith carried him through not only his addiction, but also prostate cancer. Wilson recounts a life filled with highs and heartbreaking lows; of triumph over adversity, courage in the face of extreme hardship, and love when all else is lost.
