The Memory of Old Jack by Wendell Berry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a beautiful book. To see a life through the eyes of the one who lived it is such a special gift. The end of the book brought tears to my eyes and also prepared me for the death of my Dad the day I finished the book. This will be a book on my shelf as long as I have a shelf to put it on.
If you're a baby boomer with aging parents, you need to read this book.
simply,
Tim
