Cuomo isn't just the 56th governor of New York, as well as a former New York attorney general and U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. He's also the son of a governor, so this memoir will discuss not just politics but personal issues embodying family and duty. Plus, Cuomo considers his own zig-zag trajectory and what it's taught him. Only a local tour, but there's a one-day laydown on August 5.
