This book has a heart and soul. Deeply touching and full of adventure!

This book has a heart and soul. Deeply touching. I reminder to open your eyes to ‘see’ others and the gifts they can bring to you- and you to them- by a simple connection during a moment in time. You will be moved by this man, his adventurous life and the author’s insightful portrayal of one life reaching out to many. Bravo to the author.
