Description

Letters to Toby is the story of a young boy whose father has recently passed away. The struggles “Toby” faces as he and his family try to pick up the pieces and begin life again threatens to derail any hopes and dreams he might have had for a better life in the future. Important decisions face Toby and his family and he doesn’t feel equipped to make those decisions without his dad there to help guide him. Before he died, Toby’s father anticipated this difficult time for his son and wrote a series of letters to be given to Toby by his mother on birthdays, his entry into college, his wedding day, and the birth of his first child. These letters are based on wisdom principles drawn from the book of Proverbs that Toby and his father used to read together at bedtime. Letters to Toby chronicles the challenges each year presented to Toby and the uncanny revelations that his father’s letters seemed to have to each one of those challenges. The author takes the reader on a young man’s journey into adulthood - guided each step of the way by a letter from his deceased father. These letters are poignant reminders that there are many things fathers fail to say to their sons and daughters as they grow into young adults that would be highly beneficial to their development. Toby’s father realized in his dying days that he would never have the opportunity again, so he wrote what he couldn’t say. The impact these letters had on Toby’s life was significant, and life changing. Follow young Toby as he navigates the rough terrain of losing his father, the traumatic move to his new home, and a dream that seems to be dying before his eyes. Witness him methodically take steps that are in line with the encouraging words of his father to get up, dust himself off, and begin to make a new life for himself. Observe the contrast between the consequences of good choices versus the consequences of bad ones.
