“I’m sure my brother would have called him a profile in courage. I feel the same way.”
Senator Ted Kennedy
This beautiful book is a must-read for all who believe deeply in “the blessings of liberty.” In these chapters, so masterfully rendered, we are reminded that wisdom and compassion are indivisible, and that each and every one of us can, as Peter Rodino always said, live a life that matters.

Joy Rodino chronicles the sum of an American statesman’s life in this inspiring song of praise for Chairman Rodino’s storied rise from humble origins to serve his nation during one of the most challenging chapters in American history. Joy’s memoir, told with uncommon grace, is a loving testimony to her husband’s splendid legacy.

Congressman Rodino was my childhood hero for many reasons, but the most significant was that he loved and lived the United States Constitution every day. In these extraordinary pages his wife Joy captures the congressman’s passion in a way that no one else could, with deep and abiding affection.
