Tell My Sons

In the bestselling tradition of Tuesdays with Morrie and The Last Lecture, a dying father’s deeply moving legacy for his sons is winning hearts and minds around the world.

At just 38 and at the height of his military career, highly decorated soldier Colonel Mark Weber was diagnosed with deadly V gastro-intestinal cancer. Given just four months to live, he began to write a letter to his three young sons so that as they grew up without him they would at least have the lessons that living – and dying – had taught him about courage and fear, pride and humility, words and actions, and so much more. Over time that letter became the extraordinary Tell My Sons.

This profoundly moving father’s story has proved to be a gift that has reached far beyond his three sons. It is for anyone who could use the best advice a dying hero has to offer. As the bestselling author of Tuesdays With Morrie, Mitch Albom says: ‘Mark Weber's story has touched me in such a profound way. It's real, brave, gritty, honest, inspiring and a gift to us all. Every page exudes courage, honesty, and an indomitable spirit‘.
