• Very moving! You won't be disappointed.
  This is a very powerful book. My wife and I listened to it when our kids were asleep during a recent Chevy Chase-like National Lampoons 3000 mile minivan road trip when our kids were asleep. Each account of a father left us with great discussion and with plenty leftover for us to ponder. I will never forget the story about the daughters painting their dad's toenails.

  I definitely recommend this book. Buy a couple! They make excellent gifts!

It's what we all wish for our kids.

I didn't bargain for the sadness it made me feel over the loss of my own father some 33 years ago when I was only 22 (like Luke). After reading the book, I then purchased 5 more --- one for each of my children and one for each of my siblings. I am working on a 'letter to my children' about their grandfather, whom... more info
