I found this book at a local library book sale back in 2015. Out of all the books I got that day, this one was my favorite and it still sits on my shelf. I have cried watching movies plenty of times, but this is the only book that has ever made me cry til this day. There is so much to admire from the father’s choices in how he dealt with his life and the advice he gave to his child.

Read this too young...

Couldn't put this book down. I learned a lot from his letters, as anyone could. Such great advice.
