Publisher's Synopsis
I was a child in 1970s Montana raised by a father who was age 47 when I was born. He was adopted and joined the military at 18. He traveled the world with the Airforce and when he returned he realized "people are people" and told his children, "Treat people the way you want them to treat you." He set out to raise his children with morals and to be principled even though as a young man he hadn't always been. It wasn't until he got married and became a father, that he began wanting to be an upright person. His house was organized; rules, learning lessons, laughter and anger at his subjects at times, but, he maintained that he knew how to live this life and if we listened to him and gave our parents, teachers, neighbors and each other respect half the battle would be won. He believed that the old school way of rearing children was the right way. I doubted his words until I had children of my own now and I understand he was right. And in this book I will tell you why.
