Run Softly Go Fast

I read this book in High School and found it to be absolutely inspiring. While it is beautifully written, it also offers the reader an underlaying message about individuality and overcoming obstacles that makes the story very hopeful. I will never forget the opening paragraph, which I think speaks for itself when the protagonist says: "...I still became myself. Against impossible odds, became myself."

Extremely moving tale

"Run Softly, Go Fast" is a great book about a boy growing up during the Vietnam era, and his stormy relationship with his father. The book is so beautifully written that it will bring you to tears. Its a story of love, loss, and miscommunication. Don't miss it.
