About this ebook
Sherman Baldwin has written a delightful and honest account of a father whose love of life permeates every page of this book. Growing Up with Harry is about the lifetime of an unforgettable relationship, deeper and more intimate than Tuesdays with Morrie.

What would Harry do? is a question author Sherman Baldwin asks himself when faced with a difficult decision. Henry Harry Baldwin is his father who died in 1997 at the age of sixty-five after a battle with Lou Gehrigs Disease. This memoir captures the essence of Harrys character. He lived by the credo that character is what you do when no ones looking. For Harry, doing the right thing was like breathing.
Growing Up with Harry presents an insightful series of stories showing a glimpse of Harrys life in Roxbury, Connecticutfrom his work as a lawyer, to his love of dogs, and the outdoors. Offering universal life lessons, this memoir demonstrates that families are the sum of their stories. Some happy and some sad, the stories have value because they pass life lessons to the next generations.
