But when his father's fortune disappeared and his parents divorced, Gold fell out of his well-curated Southern California life. He was now growing up by the side of his increasingly erratic mother, among con men and get-rich schemes in '70s San Francisco. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGold brings all his gifts as a novelist to a kaleidoscope of his most formative experiences: his salvation at boarding school; his dream job at an independent bookstore; a punk rock riot; a romance with a femme fatale; the start of his writing career; and his estrangement from his mother, who moved in with her soul mate, a man who threatened to kill her. By turns heartbreaking and disarmingly funny, \u003ci\u003eI Will Be Complete\u003c\/i\u003e is one son's journey, a series of love stories layered into a search for autonomy, and, ultimately, a way of letting go.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glen David Gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1101912456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781101912454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.20d","brand":"Glen David Gold","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980843254015,"sku":"9781101912454","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93cee779-b28d-4a7d-b9e6-2a51d7cc0d7b.jpg?v=1683252206","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/i-will-be-complete-glen-david-gold-9781101912454","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
