WHAT PEOPLE SAY

In Jake’s Shoes is a deeply emotional and often harrowing narrative that blends fiction with the realism of military service, family conflict, and personal self-reflection. It is a moving, gut-wrenching, and ultimately redemptive narrative that has the potential to resonate deeply with both military and civilian audiences.

"An important read for those who are attempting to guide our sons, daughters, and students through the maze of life. A departed son's correspondence with his deceased, beloved grandmother enables his father to learn the importance of listening to his loved ones. This poignant, beautifully written story brings tears, but also brings a better understanding of what it means to be an effective communicator and role model for those we love. "
