From a childhood of poverty in Brooklyn to the battlefields of Vietnam, and ultimately to the hard-won triumphs of family and career, William's life has been anything but simple.His journey is not about perfection or privilege-it is about resilience, persistence, and the unshakable will to keep moving forward when everything says stop. With candor and hard-earned wisdom, "The Compass Broke, I Kept Walking" reveals what it takes to turn setbacks into stepping stones. Through love, loss, and unexpected lessons found in unlikely places-even on the golf course-William shares how he built a life defined not by circumstance, but by courage and conviction.For anyone who has struggled, questioned their direction, or wondered how to begin again, this memoir is a reminder: the path from poverty to success is not marked on any map-it's forged step-by-step, by refusing to give up.(Written by Bill's daughter, Natalie.)
