Summary:
During his tumultuous term as mayor of Toronto,
Rob
Ford
always stayed on message - saving taxpayers money and putting the brakes on the "gravy train" at city hall. He also returned every phone call, even showing up on people's doorsteps late at night to help them with their problems. But despite his hard work to cut excessive spending and to address the city's crumbling infrastructure, the media delighted in showcasing
Ford
's most personal struggles instead. Reporters followed him to his car, onto his front lawn, and trailed behind while he trick-or-treated with his children. The city, the country, the entire world watched
Rob
Ford
battle substance abuse, but they rarely saw or heard the real story behind
Ford
- the family man, the faithful public servant, the devoted husband, father, and brother who put the people of his city above all else. Doug
Ford
,
Rob
's brother and most trusted advisor, shares the true story of the two brothers and the
Ford
family: from the early days of their parents' marriage, as Diane and Doug Senior worked tirelessly to get their company off the ground; to the Etobicoke house filled with the
Ford
children; to Doug Senior's entry into provincial politics, with
Rob
and Doug following in his footsteps, to city hall. Drawing on a number of sources to share
Rob
's life in his own words after he became too ill to continue working on the book,
Ford
Nation is the only book that accurately captures the entire account of
Rob
and Doug
Ford
and their fight to protect the rights of the little guy.
