On August 16, 1938 in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, a tiny boy opened his mouth and cried for the first time. As Germany persecuted Jews and Orson Wells prepared for his infamous War of the Worlds radio program, Edgar Allen Moore began his life as the second of three boys in a Scottish-Irish family who nurtured an insatiable curiosity and a zest for adventure.

In his entertaining memoir, Moore chronicles his journey from childhood to adulthood as he experienced variability, excitement, and satisfaction while working in five different professions. As Moore shares how he was influenced not only by the death of his mother at a young age, but also by a post-war cultural environment, he details how he managed to become successful despite living with the effects of attention deficit disorder, an then-unknown affliction that would not be diagnosed until later in life. As he narrates his adventures from college to military assignments to eventual employment, Moore provides a compelling glimpse into what it is like to look at each sunrise as a new opportunity.

WOW, What a Day! shares one baby boomers narrative of what it was like to grow up amid the chaos of World War II and the subsequent years as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery and embraces enriching life experiences.
