Don't miss an exclusive audio sneak peek of Bill's memoir, "A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity!"
In 1957, in the heart of the Eisenhower years, in the third grade classroom of Sister Mary Lurana in Saint Brigid's parochial school in Westbury, Long Island, was a mouthy, obstreperous kid by the name of William O'Reilly. Quite a handful he was, and so one day Sister Lurana bent over him in exasperation in response to some piece of mischief and told him to his face, "William, you are a bold fresh piece of humanity." Little did she know that she was, early in his career as a troublemaker, defining the essence of Bill O'Reilly and providing him with the title of his brash and entertaining issues-based memoir.
In his most intimate book yet, O'Reilly goes back in time to examine the people, places, and experiences that launched him on his journey from being a working-class kid to an immensely influential television personality and bestselling author. Readers will learn how his traditional outlook was formed in the crucible of his family, his neighborhood, his church, and his schools, and how his views on America's proper role in the world emerged from covering four wars on five continents over three-plus decades as a news correspondent. What will delight his many fans and surprise many others is the humor and self-deprecation with which he handles one of his core subjects: himself, and just how O'Reilly became O'Reilly. |

| Bold Fresh was a wonderful way to get to know a little about Bill O'Reilly, how he grew up. He had laughs and mischief, but kept his head on straight. God has allowed him to prosper and he has used that for the good of humanity---looking out for us! Wonderful book, wonderful man. |

| My husband got the book Killing Lincoln for Christmas and he loved it. He hasn't put it down since receiving it. We bought my father in law the bold fresh book and he loves it as well. Thanks for 2 great books. We love the show and watch it daily or DVR it if we aren't going to be home. Thanks Bill |

| Really enjoyed the book. Even though I went on to the priesthood it brought back a lot of memories from my Catholic school days. Our priests were from the school of "mean!" Bill's analysis of what shaped him in his youth and why he is the kind of person he is told me a lot and think I understand him a little better. Wished that he had some information on meeting his wife and about his children. But I understand why he didn't. Was very touching when he spoke about his parents and how his father would not understand his success was telling. Anyway have recommended this book to my friends. Look forward to his show each day and his world and view of America. He's a true patriot! |
