In the same style as the author's The Little Children and Other Observations, this book is part memoir and part musing and mental meandering by a keen observer of life and its journey. Brimming with love of family and tales of an upbringing rich in life's simplicity, true nuggets of wisdom and things to ponder are delivered from the vantage point of a busy, successful adult living a hectic life, but hearkening back for the echoes of the values and warmth with which he was raised. No matter which section you open the book to and read, you will find yourself sighing wistfully and pondering the mysteries of faith and life. What you will not be is unmoved or unchanged.

Their work grew into an international consultancy providing upscale department and specialty stores with financial, operational, inventory management, system review and implementation, and process reengineering support and guidance.Rod is currently working on his third book while continuing to travel for his business. His first book, The Little Children and Other Observations, went on to best-seller acclaim for his publisher in 2023 and was cited as one of only four books on the fall 2024 recommended reading list of the University of Pittsburgh's Pitt Magazine.
