A brush with fame came in the mid-90's when Kent bought an unpublished manuscript by Louisa May Alcott. He tells that story and discusses his passion for books. He also talks about his travels in India and the ashram in Sanbornton he and his family moved to in 1970. Those experiences are chonicled in his book, "Rainbow on my Heart."
