A compilation of letters written for two teenage grandsons getting ready to embark on their journey into adulthood. Practical and sage advice for people of every age.
For those who have them, grandparents are often regarded as an incredible source of advice and wisdom. In this book, author Mike Andes has compiled a series of causal and heartfelt letters to his 17-year-old twin grandsons. His letters contain his thoughts, memories, and musings from years of reflection. Many of these life lessons he feels that he did not have the opportunity to learn from his parents and some lessons he feels he did not start to learn until he was 43 years old and divorced. As he did not have the chance to teach these things to his own children, he now shares his advice openly with his grandsons. His aim is to teach his grandsons how to arm themselves with the tools and attitudes that will empower them to lead better lives than he did.
Letters to My Grandsons acts as both a memoir and a source of practical life advice to anyone at any age interested in a friendly grandfather's hopeful thoughts to his grandchildren. The book will appeal to anyone who appreciates advice delivered in love by those who have lived through failures and learned from them.
