For the first time in his career he hadn’t been given an SOP, a training manual, or even a lesson plan. He was a trained police officer. Where was his manual? He uses short stories to show how he used daily activities to teach his daughter life’s lessons. After each story is a Rule To Live By. An example of a rule is The value of time is far more precious than the value of things. Whether you’re a parent, a grandparent, an aunt or an uncle, you will find this book interesting and inspiring.
