Description and Reviews
From The Publisher:
In his latest book, Bob Welch offers memorable and moving true stories, written with humor and rich insight. Using the timeless analogy of nurturing and growing trees, Bob points to how critical it is to leave a legacy of love for our children and for generations to come. It's never too late, he writes, to begin creating that legacy. "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now."
