For What He Could Become

De: James A. Misko

Narrado por: Edison McDaniels

When Bill Williams, a half Irish, half Athabaskan Indian, left his native Alaskan village after a disastrous bear hunt, he left behind not only the only home he had ever known, but also the girl he loved. It was then that the true adventure of his life began. He worked on a Yukon riverboat, searched for gold, and took a job building the Alaskan Highway. When the country became involved in World War II, Bill signed up to fight and was immediately sent overseas. The experiences of war were devastating and the trauma left him with deep indelible scars. After surviving the Battle of the Bulge, Bill returned home only to discover that his girlfriend was married to his brother and the village was no longer a welcome place for him.

At this point, Bill’s life takes a downward plunge into a world of alcoholism, unemployment, and homelessness. But an unlikely series of events suddenly sheds a beacon of light on the hopelessness of his life, and he is given a second chance at love and happiness - but only if he rises to the challenge.

For What He Could Become
By: James A. Misko

The listener is taken into Bill Williams world. It's not pretty. From bear hunts, Alaskan highway construction, WWII, alcoholism, homelessness, dog sled race and much much more. I found myself liking as well as despising him. A very good listen.



The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. I enjoyed the time I spent listening to Edison McDaniels's performance.

Superbly Written Tale

For What He Could Become. .Not sure how to review this book.
It chronicles Bills life, and I guess just like life it felt aimless at times. However it is very readable and somehow keeps your interest and the pages turning.
The end comes quite suddenly and I felt that there should have been a few more chapters or an epilogue to tie up unanswered questions.
The narrator Edison McDaniels has a unique style that is very suited to this type of book.
His representation of Bill Williams is excellent.
