Letter to My Father : A Memoir

Having wounded his father with a hurtful letter when he was twenty-three, Tom Couser felt somewhat responsible for his later mental collapse. When his father died, Tom found personal documents that revealed facets of his father's life of which Tom had known nothing. Too traumatized to grieve properly, much less to probe his father's complicated history, Tom boxed the documents and stored them-for over thirty years. When he finally explored his father's rich legacy, he achieved a belated reconciliation with a man he had not really known. [Publisher's Text]
