About Your Father and Other Celebrities I Have Known

A humorous memoir about growing up in the Rowe family, before and after Mike Rowe's rise to fame. Peggy Rowe recounts stories of her husband's minimalistic ways and their quirky adventures, including woodstove mishaps and garbage dumping tales that inspired Mike's obsession with "dirty jobs." As Mike gains fame, Peggy becomes his biggest fan, even baking cookies for Joan Rivers. With lightning strikes, elderly friends eating marijuana leaves, and celebrity commercials, Peggy's stories entertain both old and new fans.
