Author Visit-Dana Canedy
Speech and booksigning by Dana Canedy, author of A Journal For Jordan, at Ft. Bragg's North Post PX at 3pm.
About A Journal For Jordan:
In 2005, First Sergeant Charles Monroe King began to write what would become a two-hundred-page journal for his son in case he did not make it home from the war in Iraq. He was killed by a roadside bomb on October 14, 2006. His son, Jordan, was seven months old. A Journal For Jordan is a mother's letter to her son about the father he lost before he could even speak - including a fiercely honest account of her search for answers about Charles' death. It is also a father's advice and prayers for the son he will never know. Finally, this is the story of Dana and Charles together - two seemingly mismatched souls who loved each other deeply and lost each other too soon.
