Wisdom of Our Fathers: Lessons and Letters from… af Tim Russert
Nice collection of very sentimental vignettes about fathers, from their sons and daughters. I listened to the audio version and had to stop because the emotions were too strong.
I enjoyed this book for the most part. It was interesting reading stories of fathers and families, and their struggles and happiness. We live in such a different world now, most of the entries in this book took place in the 50's through the 80's, and that was a totally different generation. Nonet...
Tim Russert, of Meet the Press, tells the story of his life and how much he admires his father.
My mom found this book on the book exchange rack at her library. It's a sort of follow up book to Russert's book about his father. Many people sent him stories about their fathers after reading his book. Some of those stories are compiled here. There are many and you should find at least one to touch your heart. It made me miss my dad and my stepdad.
