In From Nothing to 90, Will Klein chronicles his life from hardscrabble beginnings as an adopted child in a Saskatchewan family struggling through the ""Dirty Thirties"" to early success as a newsboy and onto great business achievement despite numerous setbacks throughout his life. In colourful, humorous, observant prose, Will takes readers from Depression-era Saskatchewan through his rise in business in the early days of television to his leadership in a storied public service organization that takes him around the world and into a whirlwind of political machinations that threatens to destroy him.

At its heart, From Nothing to 90 is an inspiring story about Saskatchewan: its history, hardships, and opportunities. But it's also a book about individual initiative, seizing opportunity, and never giving up even after government betrayal and setbacks that might appear insurmountable.

Will Klein has been a global leader of the Kinsmen service clubs, which began his travel to more than forty countries. He has had multiple careers: in early television, serving as the CEO of Saskatchewan Diamond Jubilee and Canada Centennial celebrations, and leading two privately financed companies to greatness. On a business or personal basis, Will has visited the ten provinces of Canada and all but one of the states in the USA. He is a dual citizen of Canada and the United States and in 1983 was appointed to the Order of Canada for his distinguished service to the country. At the age of sixty-one, he began building a new company, SkyMed, which has protected more than 500,000 traveling members. It is regarded by many in the travel industry as the gold standard of emergency medical air repatriation. At the age of ninety, it may be his greatest legacy.
