A Book for all Time

Author Jan L Waldron has done it again! She writes from the heart about her own life experiences. Her love for her sons is obvious, but her feelings about raising boys to become good men is inspiring. Jan delves into relationships she's been in, some good, some not so good. She bares her heart and soul to communicate the best and worst life has to offer. I highly recommend this book.
