<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>How to Walk with Steve</em> is a memoir of a boy's connection with his autistic brother in a family defined by alcoholism, art, and death in a decaying Midwestern city. </p><p>With exposed-nerve scenes, Robert Fromberg immerses us in an early childhood made relentlessly unpredictable by autism and addiction; teenage years alone in 1970s New York City; and young adulthood as guardian of his brother after the death of their parents.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Praise for <em>How to Walk with Steve: </em></strong></p><p>​</em></p><p>"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."</p><p> <strong>--Patricia Eakins, author of <em>The Hungry Girls and Other Stories</em></strong></p><p><strong><em>​</em></strong></p><p>"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."</p><p> <strong>--Leslie Lawrence, author of <em>The Death of Fred Astaire and Other Essays from a Life Outside the Lines</em></strong></p><p>​</p><p>"Fragmented yet unified, direct yet elusive, How to Walk with Steve</em> is a vivid memoir about family and geography, obligation and freedom. Fromberg has a remarkable ability to inject meaning into silence, into the cracks between sections, into all the things that remain unsaid."</p><p> --<strong>Brett Biebel, author of <em>48 Blitz</em></strong></p><p> </p><p>"How to Walk with Steve</em> by Rob Fromberg is an inviting, conversational, and deeply personal portrait of a man's relationship with his brother across places and across time. Using small sections that can feel like standalone poems, Fromberg carefully crafts a resonant memoir about the challenges and obligations-and also the faith and love-that connect siblings through the years. Full of humor, honesty, and surprise, How to Walk with Steve</em> is sure to succeed with nonfiction readers who appreciate unrelenting wit and candor."</p><p> <strong>--Scott Kenemore, author of <em>Lake of Darkness</em></strong></p><p>​</p>
