Letters for Emily

De: Camron Wright

Narrado por: Joe Barrett

You are so young. You may wonder what an old man like me could teach? I wonder as well. I certainly don't claim to know all the answers. I'm barely figuring out the questions...Life has a strange way of repeating itself and I want my experience to help you...My hope is that you'll consider my words and remember my heart.

Harry Whitney is dying. He has Alzheimer's disease, and he knows his "good" time is dwindling. So he compiles a book of poems for his favorite granddaughter, Emily, hoping that his words of hard-won wisdom will heal the old wounds that are tearing his family apart. But Harry's poems contain much more than meets the eye -- clues and riddles that lead to an extraordinary cache of letters and a promise of hidden gold. As Emily and her family uncover Harry's secrets one by one, they learn unforgettable lessons about romance, forgiveness and hope that might hold them all together.

great story

Lessons we need to be reminded

The poems are going straight for a home run!
It touched my heart and reminded me of the true meaning of the events that are unfolding in my life. Losing and gaining, achievements and failures! Reading this for some is just a book of poem but perhaps read it again in a quite or right time. This will go to my best books!

touching and well written

Sweet

sweet story of generational struggles and redemption. A little slow at times, but overall I enjoyed it.

Letters For Emily

Lived this very thought provoking book. Would be good for anyone, look into ourselves as we all age and have lived ones age. Very good life lessons to glean from this book

This book was very thought provoking.

The man who wrote the poems was so very good at expressing his thoughts and had answers to many life's challenges. I enjoyed how the author put clues to get each poem and stories "for Emily" but were for anyone reading them.

So sweet!

Loved this book. Narration is perfection and story line so sweet and kept me intrigue to know the answers.

This book is brilliant one of a kind!!!

This author is amazing and so talented! In reading the review I thought it might be a little dry but decided to spend my time given the reviews. I’ve listened to over 1,000 books and can truly say one of my all time favorites and so surprised by its uniqueness.
