PRAISE FOR MY RIDE THROUGH LIFE: 

“This memoir taps into universal experiences using candid storytelling. It’s about growing up, uncertainty, struggle, love, pain, joy, and everything in between.  It brought back flashes of my childhood. Beckwith artfully weaves his contemplations, journal entries, and poetry with lyrical inspiration.”  

- Meta Partenheimer, Cambridge Historical Commision

“This work is both engaging and inviting, drawing the reader in. Anyone who has ever questioned how life’s journey shapes who they’ve become, who they are becoming, will relate to Anthony’s honest, transparent and vulnerable book about his life. Throughout the book I found myself diving into the same questions Anthony ponders - What shapes who we are?  What experiences throughout life form one’s identity?”

- Sara Kiesselbach, high school teacher

“Anthony is a tireless tinkerer of everyday systems (biking, coding, music, teaching), leading him to a deeper understanding of how the world works—and a clear sense of how he fits into it. His story invites us to reflect on our own inner development.”

- Robert Kirwan, documentary filmmaker

From the Introduction:

"The question of your true identity, of the part of yourself that is unchanging, is a challenging one; defining a person is an almost impossible task. One of the reasons for my decision to write an account of my life was so that I could take a ride down that road towards an answer. Maybe, for you, taking in the details of one person’s life will help you to at least consider the answers to these questions for yourself—and even be inspired to sit down and begin to tell your own unique story."
