ABOUT THE BOOK
Fish on Fridays: A Story of Worth, Purpose, and Unexpected Strength
Fish on Fridays is the story of a boy searching for worth, a man driven to succeed, and the life experiences that finally taught him what truly matters.
At ten years old, Greg Smith watched his father collapse and die on the staircase of their home. In a single moment, the foundation of his world disappeared.
Determined to prove himself, Greg spent decades pursuing achievement and success. Along the way he became an Eagle Scout, Army officer, business executive, husband, and father. Yet beneath the accomplishments remained unanswered questions about loss, identity, and purpose.
When cancer, career setbacks, and personal struggles arrived, Greg discovered that true strength is not found in titles or achievements but in resilience, faith, family, and the willingness to begin again.
“Fish on Fridays is the kind of memoir that stays with you long after the final page.”
