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

In 2005, First Sergeant Charles Monroe King began to write a journal for his son in case he did not make it home from the war in Iraq.  Charles King, forty-eight, was killed in October 2006, when an improvised explosive device detonated under his Humvee.  Jordan was seven months old.  A Journal for Jordan is a mother's letter to her son—fierce in its honesty—about the father he lost before he could even speak.  And it is a father's advice and prayers for the son he will never know.  This is also the story of Dana and Charles together—two seemingly mismatched souls who loved each other deeply.
