Over the past two years, U. S. News & World Report assistant managing editor Erica Goode has searched the country for exemplary Americans willing to share the important lessons they have learned. Letters for Our Children is the remarkable result of those labors, a chorus of fifty warm and wise voices coming together for one great purpose: to illustrate for our children the values and experiences that have shaped their lives and to create a contemporary book of American virtues.The authors of these letters have lived through wars, weddings, divorces, the deaths of loved ones, the births of children. They have lost jobs, run successful businesses, quarreled with friends, made difficult decisions, murmured prayers of thanksgiving and of despair. They include a Texas bus driver, a Missouri waitress, a professional basketball star, a Montana preacher, an Oregon midwife, and journalists Cokie Roberts and Steven V. Roberts.
