 Rating:  - lifetime movie materialfrankly, i have to say this book is sentimental drivel, if i even remember it. i read it (someone gave it to me as a gift, i think) and quickly forgot all about it. just the kind of feel-good, therapeutic prose that is the stuff of lifetime movies (it WAS made into a movie, didn't it?). save your money.

I felt a connection to this man, who has been deceased for quite a while now, thanks to this wonderful book. I only hope ... Read More Rating: - An Inspirational Story"The class met on Tuesdays.
