Most Popular Books by Ron Howard

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “This extraordinary book is not only a chronicle of Ron’s and Clint’s early careers and their wild adventures, but also a primer on so many topics—how an actor prepares, how to survive as a kid working in Hollywood, and how to be the best parents in the world! The Boys will surprise every reader with its humanity.” — Tom Hanks "I have read dozens of Hollywood memoirs. But The Boys stands alone. A delightful, warm and fascinating story of a good life in show business.” — Malcolm Gladwell Happy Days, The Andy Griffith Show, Gentle Ben—these shows captivated millions of TV viewers in the ’60s and ’70s. Join award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard and audience-favorite actor Clint Howard as they frankly and fondly share their unusual family story of navigating and surviving life as sibling child actors. “What was it like to grow up on TV?” Ron Howard has been asked this question throughout his adult life. in The Boys, he and his younger brother, Clint, examine their childhoods in detail for the first time. For Ron, playing Opie on The Andy Griffith Show and Richie Cunningham on Happy Days offered fame, joy, and opportunity—but also invited stress and bullying. For Clint, a fast start on such programs as Gentle Ben and Star Trek petered out in adolescence, with some tough consequences and lessons. With the perspective of time and success—Ron as a filmmaker, producer, and Hollywood A-lister, Clint as a busy character actor—the Howard brothers delve deep into an upbringing that seemed normal to them yet was anything but. Their Midwestern parents, Rance and Jean, moved to California to pursue their own showbiz dreams. But it was their young sons who found steady employment as actors. Rance put aside his ego and ambition to become Ron and Clint’s teacher, sage, and moral compass. Jean became their loving protector—sometimes over-protector—from the snares and traps of Hollywood. By turns confessional, nostalgic, heartwarming, and harrowing, THE BOYS is a dual narrative that lifts the lid on the Howard brothers’ closely held lives. It’s the journey of a tight four-person family unit that held fast in an unforgiving business and of two brothers who survived “child-actor syndrome” to become fulfilled adults.

"The following story is based on a true story. All the character names are fictitious and any resemblance is entirely coincidental. This story starts with early childhood, through adolescence and into early adulthood. This story is set back in the 70''s and 80''s during times of violence and a lot of cocaine. This story takes the reader from a small town in Pennsylvania "Brownsville" to Miami Beach, Florida, the land of cocaine and dreams. When readers are done with that trip, then they will travel through the military guarding nuclear weapons and selling military drugs as a drug dog handler for the Air Force Security Police in Hampton, Virginia for eight years. He made millions of dollars and not one dollar of that money made him happy. When he retired form the drug game, he did not take any of the money into his retirement because he felt the money was cursed. Back in the 70''s and 80''s, drug money was buried in the ground until he could figure out what to do with it. The money that was made is still in the ground and can be still be found if you pay attention to what the book says about the money."
