“ALL I AM: A True Story of Life’s Success, Failures, Giving Back and Salvation,” written by Robert Dugan, will make its Canadian premier at The Maple Staple Bookstore, 413 Keele Street, Toronto, in late March 2025.
The book recently received a glowing review by the LA Times Scouts who wrote, “It is a powerful and heartwarming memoir that will leave readers both inspired and deeply moved.”

The Maple Staple Bookstore is one of Canada’s renowned centers for displaying a wide range of books for the serious reader. Books such as Dugan’s receive prominent space on the store’s Spotlight Premium Shelf as well as coverage in an issue of The Maple Staple Magazine and on its website https://themaplestaple.com.
Dugan, CEO and President of ThorGuard, Inc., the world’s leading company in lightning and storm warning systems, says he never wished for or intended to write such a book. If not for the unexpected death of his wife, Susan, after a 31- year love story, he claims this book would not exist.
The review noted that it is a powerful and heartwarming personal account of Dugan’s perseverance through physical challenges, personal loss and emotional distress. Moreover, while it is a book that will offer inspiration, it is also an instructional guide on how to live a life of purpose, guided by a higher calling.
“Bob’s offering fits in perfectly to the style of books we feature concerning spiritual journeys of faith, transformation, and divine guidance which illuminate the path to self-discovery,” remarked Austin Davis, The Maple Staple Bookstore’s Publishing and Marketing Specialist.
The book was published January 16 and is available in hardcover, paperback and digital versions via Amazon and Kindle. The Maple Staple Bookstore will display the paperback version in its store as well as through its website. Store patrons may purchase the hardcover or digital version via a QR code attached to the paperback on display.
The LA Times Scouts closed its review with “It’s a must-read for anyone looking to strengthen their belief in the power of divine intervention and perseverance.”
