In Case I Don't Come Home: Letters to My Son

Matt Cooper

If I were to die tomorrow, what would I want my son to know? This is the question author Matt Cooper asked himself when he began this project. This profoundly personal, philosophical, and practical book is written as a series of letters from a father (a firefighter) to his young son and weaves together personal stories, Stoic philosophy, Christian references, and modern psychology. Deeply vulnerable and irreverently direct, In Case I Don’t Come Home is more than a father’s paternal gift to his son. It’s a field manual for any man who wants to become the kind of husband, father, and leader others can rely on—calm in crisis, humble in success, steadfast in suffering, grounded in virtue, and fully alive to the brief, beautiful gift of the present moment.
