REVIEW: This motivational story will move you to laugh and cry at the self-less love of a father and a little boy who was so wise beyond his years. He had all the innocence of a child, and the grace, faith and perseverance of someone much older than his mere three and a half years of age. As Keith shares his stories of the wonderful changes Zachary’s short life; of the people who were personally affected by him; of the town, state and country who have shared in their story, you will find yourself questioning your own personal beliefs and your reactions to people who are different from yourself. With a forward by renowned auto designer, and star of TLC’s “Overhaulin’” Chip Foose, and stories from whose lives have been irreversibly moved by Zachary and his quest to help others, this book is a must read. Zachary’s teacher summed it up in a letter she read at his funeral service: “The length of our journey in life isn’t significant,” said Ms Jane Turner. “What is significant are the lives we touch while we are here. Thank you,Zachary, for the honor of knowing you and for the way you touched so many in your life. You are my champion.” -Stillwater Living Magazine
