By writing letters to one another, three men learned how to share ever-deeper feelings. They stretched one another to find more honest ways into intimate conversations with their parents, sons and daughters, wives, and friends. Through their letters they developed an accountability, challenging each other to acknowledge ‘stuck’ places and move past them. Their letters are filled with humor, dreams, stories of wounds from their upbringing, and poignant heart-warming stories. Readers of this book will discover ways to enrich their own relationships.
