Publisher's Synopsis
As a young man, Andrew Rostan spent some of his happiest moments watching
JEOPARDY! with his grandfather. Early on, he was ready for Daily Doubles and the
iconic buzzer. But now at the age of twenty-two, Andrew's an actual
contestant on the show, and realizes that while he may be ready to meet the host
Alex Trebek, he's not prepared for what comes with starring on one of the
most beloved game shows in television history. While Andrew is excellent
at remembering facts, he's also able to recall the memories he associates
with those facts-memories of deaths in the family and extraordinary
people-and recognize a life lived one step removed from the rest of
humanity. A life he's ready to change. Andrew discovers that existence is
like JEOPARDY! and all the answers are staring you in the face if only you ask
the right questions. In his moving memoir, Rostan, along with illustrator Kate
Kasenow, revisits one of the most formative moments in his life and reveals how
a chance opportunity to appear on a game show taught him much more about living
than he knew he needed . . .
