It’s 1961, and for Margo Hightower, everything is about to change. True, her engagement is off, her family has fallen in scandal, and she's completely broke.

From the bright beaches of Acapulco to glitzy parties in New York, Margo is thrown headfirst into the glamorous jet-set world she so covets, observing its ways from behind the camera as Slim’s sidekick.

Story
Living A Meaningful Life is a series for adults and teens of all ages. Book 10 of the series, "The Substitute," is a very amusing, inspiring, and touching installment which moves the series deeper into allowing the listener to experience the very deep, complex, and meaningful relationship between father and son. The themes are still very much about sacrificing to do what is right, but also shows us what a loving parent and child relationship can look like. This is a particularly fun and amusing installment, and Rudy does not disappoint.
