From the writer of Words in the Dirt and Divided We Show up: A heartwarming booklet about a child reconnecting with the daddy he lost in Afghanistan. Mike was seven when his dad was killed in inexplicable circumstances in Afghanistan. Eight years later, the family still hasn't recovered: Mike's mother is overworked and overprotective; his young sister, Mary, feels no connection to the daddy she hardly remembers; and in his quest to be "the man of the family", Mike is aware of he's missing out on everyday senior high school life. Then, out of nowhere, Mike receives a letter from his dad - the first of a series Father wrote in Afghanistan, in the event he didn't get back, meant to show some wisdom along with his child on the eve of Mike's 16th birthday. As the words come in, Mike revels in hanging out with his father again, and needs his encouragement to try new things - to venture out for the sports team, and have out the beautiful Isma. But who's been keeping the words all these years? And exactly how did Father actually perish? As the answers to these mysteries are unveiled, Mike and his family discover a way to mend and move forward at last.
