About this title

Synopsis

Life was forever changed when Terry & Julie Garlock adopted their first daughter, Melanie, from China in 1998, then their second daughter, Kristen, from China in 2003. A new father at 50, he tells through stories of his daughters’ lives how he rediscovered what is important, like showing a child how to make alligator shadows against a sunlit wall.

A father tells his daughters the lessons of life he learned as a helicopter gunship pilot in the Vietnam war. He tells them about John Synowsky and Graham Stevens, the two men who risked their lives to rescue him when he was shot down, and who received the Soldier’s Medal for heroism that day.

"We learned that courage is not the absence of fear, courage is getting the job done while you’re so scared your hands shake."

"We learned that heroes are not larger-than-life and fearless, they are the ordinary people who do extraordinary things when their brothers are in danger."
