About the Book

L.K. Wood: As Everyone Should is a must read for anyone interested in a story of success, failure and redemption. Giving a glimpse of life in St. Louis after WW II, this is the true story of a larger -than-life man. LK rose from a penniless orphan to real estate tycoon, determined to fulfill the promise he made to his dying father: take care of family. No one could have guessed what that would entail. Abandoned by his mother when he was only six years old, little L.K. and baby brother Dick ended up in an orphanage. But L.K. quickly ran away, worked as many jobs as he could find and returned to begin fulfilling his promise.He retrieved his brother and set about providing for both of them and other family he'd found.From there, L.K. lived an extraordinary life that included teaching Clark Gable how to knife fight, flying B 17 bombers over "The Hump" in WWII, serving as a spy for the OSS, building a multi-million dollar real estate business, and helping bring The Arch to St. Louis. When he was appointed Chairman of the Missouri Real Estate Commission, he put his old spy skills to work and ferreted out criminals gaming the system. He also closed loopholes and instituted reforms in industry regulation that continue to shape the world of real estate today.But, for all his success, peace eluded L.K. Though his friendships included titans of politics and business (August Busch, Mayor Al Cervantes Governor Joe Teasdale, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, and President Richard Nixon) an anger clouded his star-studded existence. Only the love of his life, wife number six, held a key that could unlock the angry child inside and lead L.K. to a place of forgiveness toward his mother, and peace with his Maker.
