Authors Spotlight with Carew Papritz
During this mini episode we turn the Authors Spotlight onto Carew Papritz and his novel “The Legacy Letters: his wife, his children, his final gift.”
Winner of 5 national awards including the Mom's Choice Award, The Legacy Letters reveals to us the rediscovered private letters from a dying father to his children and his wife.
His words of wisdom, interwoven between deeply personal stories and poignantly-told memories, ultimately become the practical, moral, and spiritual guidebook for his children he'd never live to see, and for his wife, his redemptive act of love. "Live Life to the Fullest" becomes the father's passionate plea to his family and to all of us desiring to live the same way.
Woman's World Magazine writes, "This inspirational classic is the perfect comfort book for people hungry to find meaning in their lives." Combining the best elements of such inspirational bestsellers as Tuesdays with Morrie, The Last Lecture, and Chicken Soup for the Soul, author Carew Papritz creates a timeless work that The Huffington Post calls, "A Must-Read Book of Wisdom for Life...exquisite, intimate, passionate, humorous, and genuine..."
Discussion Points:
- Why we should read their book
- Award winning
- Reading challenge to customers
- Readers reactions
- Passages from the book
- Fiction but accepted as non-fiction
- Extended addition in the works
- Early mid-life Crisis
- Becoming a cowboy and philosopher
- Travel
