The remarkable story of a daughter's quest to understand her charismatic and troubled father, the notorious daredevil Evel Knievel.
Kelly Knievel always knew her father, the legendary American stuntman and entertainer Evel Knievel, was a complicated man. But it wasn't until decades after his death that she began to piece together the full measure of his remarkable life and far-reaching impact.
In this deeply personal memoir, Kelly not only explores her own relationship with her larger-than-life father but also illuminates the perils of fame, the price of rebellion, and the unbreakable bonds of family. With raw honesty and heartfelt prose, she takes readers on an extraordinary journey, from Evel's humble beginnings in Butte, Montana, to the heights of his superstardom, and ultimately to the American West where, in his final years, he found solace and acceptance.
Through it all, Kelly tries to come to terms with the duality of her father's towering persona - the egomaniacal daredevil known for his death-defying stunts, and the sensitive, emotional man who was unafraid to let down his guard. As she delves into his story, Kelly must also grapple with her own feelings of love, loss, admiration, and resentment.
Featuring personal photos and glimpses of Evel at his best and worst, "Life of Evel" is both a touching tribute and a powerful memoir about the hope, dreams, and ambitions that both unite and divide families. It is the story of a daughter's journey to understand her father and, ultimately, herself.
