She'd grown up hearing many of his stories, but whenever she recounted them, she could never quite seem to keep the details straight. How old was Dad when his family moved to Costa Rica? Was it Mario who went with him on that canoe trip? Or was it Charles? And even though she knew she wouldn't be able to preserve her father's entire history in one afternoon's recorded interview, it would be a start.The poems that Savannah unearthed from their conversation tell Jack's stories in his own unique voice, and touch upon some universal themes as well-the way we often forget early childhood memories, enjoy experiencing new cultures, find joy in good friends and shared adventures, do our best to live by a code of honor, and find that our lives so often take us in directions we never, ever planned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jen Walls,Savannah Stoner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1950499030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950499038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Floating Leaf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.23d","brand":"Jen Walls","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442738770175,"sku":"9781950499038","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b89605ba-fdb6-48b2-a91e-5898da9fbbc5.jpg?v=1777199437","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-life-he-remembers-began-jen-walls-9781950499038","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
