The King, The Princess, and The Gorilla
The King, The Princess, and The Gorilla is a special book for me. It was written as my father-of-the-bride speech for my daughter's wedding several years ago. Over the years several individuals have asked that this work be published. It is a great book for dads and daughters, moms and sons, an anyone who has had to face the challenge to lovingly let go and let grow.
