THE GIFT OF TIME
Emmy Award winning journalist and author Jorge Ramos provides the perfect Father’s Day gift with THE GIFT OF TIME: Letters from a Father (William Morrow) a universal meditation about the deep worries, fear, and love every parent experiences when raising children in an increasingly tumultuous world.
At any given moment, all parents ask themselves
if they’ve done enough to teach their children how to be decent and happy adults; to be honest and prepared citizens; to be healthy, well-rounded individuals who live vibrantly and lovingly. Jorge Ramos, like all parents, is concerned with how
his own two children are absorbing the world around them; how one day, like all children, they will eventually grow into adulthood and leave home. As the loving and thoughtful father that he is, Jorge asks himself: has he done enough to prepare his children for what the world’s future has in store for them?
THE GIFT OF TIME is a touching and overwhelmingly personal book in which Ramos reflects upon the world we live in and what role a father must fill in light of our ever darkening reality. Through his experiences as a journalist who has seen both the horrors and the grace that people are capable of, he offers his children the sound advice they need not only to live, but to strive in today’s world. In the heartfelt and direct tone that has gained him the love and admiration of millions of fans across the country, Ramos writes about the issues that plague every parent’s mind and speaks both to his children and to future generations of Americans on what they can expect and what is expected of them as they embark on their journey towards adulthood.
Jorge Ramos has been the anchorman for Univision News for the last twenty-one years and has won eight Emmy Awards and the Maria Moors Cabot Award for Excellence in Journalism. He has been invited to participate in NBC’s “Today Show”, CBS’ “Early Show”, ABC's "Nightline”, CNN's “Larry King” and “Lou Dobbs”, Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor”, PBS’ “Charlie Rose”, and HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher”, among many others. He is the bestselling author of No Borders: A Journalist’s Search for Home and The Latino Wave. He lives in Florida.
Timeless and wise, THE GIFT OF TIME will touch an emotional nerve for any loving parent and the children they must one day let go and live.
