Wisdom of Our Fathers: Lessons and Letters from Daughters and Sons

this is another book by late tim russert- he is truely gifted- sad for america that some one so passionate is gone.

The book is 297 pages & is divided into 21 chapters. The most crucial ones for me were "Honor, Being There, Forgiveness, Missing Dads, The Protector, Discipline, & 75 Reasons."

What was so refreshing about this book was the theme of basic normalcy & decency that most people seem to have. This book should appeal to most people, but it is not only or truly a book about a "father-son relationship." It came across more as a memoir of intimate vignettes, some of which are negative. One of a son whose father missed out being a a dad because of his drug addiction which eventually killed him.

Two of the more positive stories were when a father comforted his son after he told his dad that he was gay, & Kerry a girl who grew up with a stutter, whose dad held her hand & told her "it's ok". There are many life lessons in these stories that are very applicable to people regardless of their own individual backgrounds, beliefs, & experiences. All in all a very inspirational & intimate read.

I enjoyed lstening to this book very much, it gives a great lesson and tells us how important our fore fathers were and still are in our lives today.

Wonderful Touching Stories, brings back so many memories. All sons and daughters should read!!!!

What a wonderful, heart-warming and inspiring book. The letters were funny, inspirational, touching and sometimes brought me to tears - but in a good way.
