About the Book
A memoir based on a father's letters to his family, which eventually illuminates his son's life.
Book Synopsis
After the initial euphoria, one of the potholes along the road as we transition from work to retirement may be the need to discover a new purpose to fill the sudden void. Helpful ideas may be buried in a closet, an attic, or wherever else you store your personal artifacts.
A Father's Letters: Connecting Past to Present shows how re-evaluating a father's writings to his family eventually illuminated his son's life trajectory. The letters chronicle two distinct periods: his days as a combat infantryman in World War Il Europe and-30 years later-as an accountant tethered to a desk job at a small Midwestern canning company in his hometown. Whether in France or rural Illinois, Glenn Browne Jr. always shared his experiences with candor, wit, and wisdom.
A Father's Letters serves as a reminder of the unique qualities of personal correspondence, and how it can offer new insights into our own lives-past, present, and future.
