2018 reading challenge: a book by a local author

Wisdom of Our Fathers: Lessons and Letters from Daughters and Sons by Tim Russert

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


After writing his book about his father, Tim Russert received thousands of letters from people detailing their own relationships with their fathers. This book is a compilation of just a small amount of those letters, with his own thoughts and feelings intermixed.

As someone who did not have the best relationship with her own father, I found myself moved by most of the letters and stories. I found myself sniffling at times and other times experiencing almost a envious or jealous anger that these folks had such a great relationship.

This was a short but sweet book that I am glad I listened to for the lessons I learned from these good folks and their dads.
