Summary

In 2005, First Sergeant Charles Monroe King, began to write what would become a two-hundred-page journal for his as-yet-unborn son in case he did not make it home from the war in Iraq. Charles was killed by a roadside bomb on October 14, 2006. His son, Jordan, was seven months old. This book is a mother's letter to her son about the father he lost before he could even speak--including a fiercely honest account of her search for answers about Charles's death. It is also a father's advice and prayers for the son he will never know. Finally, this is the story of Dana and Charles together--two seemingly mismatched souls who loved each other deeply and lost each other too soon. --Adapted from back cover
