In the tradition of 'Tuesdays with Morrie' and 'Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart', this emotionally powerful collection of letters from a grandfather to his grandson will provide inspiration and solace.
When his grandson, Sam, was born, Daniel Gottlieb began to write a series of heartfelt letters that he hoped Sam would read later in life. He planned to cover all the important topics:
- dealing with your parents
- handling bullies
- falling in love
- coping with death.
What motivated him was the fear that he might not live long enough to see Sam reach adulthood. You see, Daniel Gottlieb is a quadriplegic -- the result of a near-fatal automobile accident that occurred two decades ago -- and he knows enough not to take anything for granted.
Then, when Sam was only fourteen months old, he was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disability, a form of autism, and suddenly everything changed. Now the grandfather and grandson were bound by something more: a disability -- and Daniel Gottlieb's special understanding of what the means became invaluable. A lovingly written, emotionally gripping book that offers unique -- and universal -- insights into what it means to be human.
