A Journal for Jordan

A Journal for Jordan: A Story of Love and Honor by Dana Canedy

An amazing work out of love. Canedy gives us passages from a journal, written by First Sergeant Charles Monroe King. He wrote for his son, in case he never made it home from Iraq.  And this fear was realized, he didn’t make it home. Sadly, he was killed by a roadside bomb when his son, Jordan, was just seven months old.

Dana Canedy, Jordan’s mother, writes this book for her son, about his lost Father. She includes parts of the journal—a Father’s advice to his son.  Canedy also tells her love story with the man she lost to the war. Emotional and touching, I loved this book. What a tribute to a great military man and such a special gift for a lucky little boy.
