Anthony Wainwright writes to a number of famous people asking about their "moment of truth" in the face of adversity. He began this project as therapeutic writing after the death of his daughter and the loss of his job. His original letter is not extant, but Merton responds.
C. Anthony has served as president and a corporate director of a number of companies after beginning a career in advertising. He is also a board member of many charities. Having studied journalism in college, he continues to writes books, articles and recurring columns.
