David, purchased Iron Boy to give to my 3 sons, reading it first. I
experienced it as an account straight from the heart. Cried as regrets for
awful emerging generation parenting as well as abandoning my own sons. Your
publishing this is a healing balm for all of us, understanding the whole
experience as collective as well as a personal responsibility. The final
chapter, the hiking trip encounter, holds the call to all all inone image.
Your father is right, in spite of or because of it all, the emerged
generation is ready for this period in human history. Thank you for sharing
your heart and soul with your gift of writing true wisdom so clearly.
Bowing in gratitude.
