Overview
SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE ā¢ āFull of wonderful treasures offered by a unique and spirited father . . . written with serene grace: part memoir, part love story, all heart.āāJames McBride, author of The Color of Water
Ā
In 2005, Dana Canedyās fiancĆ©, First Sergeant Charles Monroe King, began to write what would become a two-hundred-page journal for his son in case he did not make it home from the war in Iraq. He was killed by a roadside bomb on October 14, 2006. His son, Jordan, was seven months old.Ā
Inspired by his example, Dana was determined to preserve his memory for their son. A Journal for Jordan is a motherās fiercely honest letter to her child about the parent he lost before he could even speak. It is also a fatherās advice and prayers for the son he will never know.
A father figure to the soldiers under his command, Charles moved naturally into writing to his son. In neat block letters, he counseled him on everything from how to withstand disappointment and deal with adversaries to how to behfrave on a date. And he also wrote of recovering a young soldierās body, piece by piece, from a tankāand the importance of honoring that young manās life. He finished the journal two months before his death while home on a two-week leave, so intoxicated with love for his infant son that he barely slept.
This is also the story of Dana and Charles togetherātwo seemingly mismatched souls who loved each other deeply and lost each other too soon. A Journal for Jordan is a tender introduction, a loving good-bye, a reporterās inquiry into her soldierās life, and a heartrending reminder of the human cost of war.
