This is truly interesting. Great Americans writing to their children, sometimes about mundane things, but often giving their best advice. You see them as human, with frustrations and hopes and love. Many are surprising. My favorites include letters from Gen Patton to his son, and from W.E.B.Dubois to his daughter. Also, we have Laura Ingalls Wilder---she seems so dear! Jack London seems a little bossy and dictatorial. I'm reading it right thru in order (the letters are grouped by categories) but I ought to slow down---it would be a good book to discuss, letter by letter at a book club, or among friends who are all reading it.

Nothing on the reactions of the ne'er do well children, as far as I can see. What an awful burden for these poor kids to bear.
