Growing up in West Chester, Tori was one of my best friends in middle school, and I would go over to her house for sleepovers and pool parties. Now that we're older and in college, I don't see her a lot, but I do see Mr. Haviland at Starbucks!! When he gave me his book to read, I was so excited. I both laughed and cried, (mostly cried) as each chapter he shared more and more about his life. His writing was detailed, vivid, and I felt that I was right there... in the airplanes, listening to taps at the funeral, and as he opened the "letters from God." I enjoyed reading about his search to find Alan and reconcile things with his mom and Tom. I think that all of us have a "Ben" in our life. I'm thankful that Mr. Haviland invited us to share in his life, the story of his family, and was able to reconnect with his father. I can't wait to tell others read this book. It's a great reminder to let faith love and joy be our constant companions.
