For Newsom, the California Dream is what lured his father's family from Ireland, six generations ago. His great-great-grandfather, a cop, walked a beat in San Francisco, where almost 150 years later Newsom would be elected as mayor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNewsom has never lived anywhere but California. His childhood was spent being tugged between two worlds- his mother worked three jobs in order to care for her children while his father, a close friend of the Getty family, brought Newsom into a world of wealth and connections. But the vantage point was valuable- he inherited his mother's perseverance and his father's reverence of California - not only its wildness, but its opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Young Man in a Hurry, Newsom traces the forces that have defined his ambitions as a politician.
