Praise for How to Walk with Steve: ​ Robert Fromberg's poignant memoir details the painful ordinariness of misery -- even for the bright scion of an artistic family . . . In refusing easy consolations, Fromberg has created a memoir that shines like polished bone. --Patricia Eakins, author of The Hungry Girls and Other Stories ​ Without a trace of affectation or adornment, Fromberg depicts the searing moments that made him who he is. Never have I read a more authentic, deeply-felt rendering of a child's developing mind. --Leslie Lawrence, author of The Death of Fred Astaire and Other Essays from a Life Outside the Lines ​ Fragmented yet unified, direct yet elusive, How to Walk with Steve is a vivid memoir about family and geography, obligation and freedom.
