Abstract:
In his letters to his only son Dick Walker, the scion of an Illinois legislator and newspaperman, takes the reader on the roller coaster ride that was his life. He spares nothing as he shares his gut-wrenching struggles with The Walker Curse; touches on the foibles of a frat man, the heartache of loss, the joys, love and pride of a close-knit family. Rich with adventure and packed with emotion, Dear Luke is a veritable “Who’s Who” of celebrated names—Olympic athletes, politicos, sports’ heroes, royalty; just plain Joes and Janes. A tell-all non-fiction book that reads like a novel.
