Forever Terry: A Legacy in Letters by
5.0
I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from Darrell Fox (editor) and Viking through NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.
This book was filled with incredibly touching letters from everyday people, famous athletes, authors, musicians, family and friends whose lives were forever changed by Terry Fox. I cried throughout this book as I read these letters. The letter from Anna Solnickova was incredibly moving as her story and Terry's are so similar, I had to stop reading the book for the rest of the day. The letters from Mary Hardisty, Darryl Sittler, Rick Hansen, Silken Laumann, Debbie Laurie, and Doug Allward had me running to the kitchen for more tissues, but the telegram from Isadore Sharps to Terry, whew that one was hard to read.
I loved reading this book and highly recommend it to everyone. Terry Fox was an amazing young man who deserves to be remembered for generations to come. Happy 40th Anniversary to Terry's dream and the amazing accomplishments he achieved.
