“In Letters from Home, David and Andrea Reiser lay out for their four sons the structure within which they have been raised—a structure that stresses honesty, decency, and a path to success in life that is based on traditional American values. It is a timely message for these young men as they move into manhood. It is a timeless message that they can pass on to their children and grandchildren.” —Geraldine A. Ferraro
“David and Andrea Reiser in Letters from Home create a prescription for happiness, prosperity, and fulfillment in life that works for everybody—traditional virtues and values to guide young Americans as well as corporate CEOs. In an era when many Americans believe we have lost our compass, this book offers a playbook that inspires us to make the world a better place and to work hard to achieve the American Dream for ourselves and our families. Their passion for a meaningful and good life is deliciously contagious and worth passing on to all whom you love.” —Howie Phanstiel, Retired Chairman & CEO, PacifiCare Health Systems
