Letters to My Son in Prison by Ken Guidroz

★★★★★  The publisher provided a copy for review. 
It's a gut-wrenching experience for a parent when our kids suffer. It doesn't matter if they've been a victim of someone's bad decision or accidental harm. It doesn't matter if they've done something stupid and are reaping the consequences. It hurts, any way you look at it.

This book grabs you and thrashes you about with the honesty and transparency of a father's heartbreak and restoration. It shares the account of life we never imagine and never sign up for when we hold our babies in our arms and promise to raise them well. It explores the feelings of betrayal and grief and anger that accompany our journeys with kids who screw up.

And it offers hope. Guidroz and his wife talk about the pressures and relief of God taking us through the valleys of shadows where we never expected to walk. If your kids are healthy, if they're a mess, if they're with or against you, you'll want to read this book - 

And if you have friends who are making bad choices, you'll be better informed and better equipped to love and care for them in the middle of the consequences that are coming.
