In 2005, First Sergeant Charles Monroe King began to write what would become a two-hundred page journal for his son in case he did not make it home from the way in Iraq. He was killed by a roadside bomb on October 14,2006. His son, Jordan, was seven months old. A Journal for Jordan is a mother's letter to her son about the father he lost before he could even speak-including a fiercely honest account of her search for answers about Charles' death. It is also a father's advice and prayers for the son he will never know. Finally, this is the story of Dana and Charles together-two seemingly mismatched souls who loved each other deeply and lost each other too soon.

  • This is one of the saddest most heartbreaking stories I have ever read. I can only imagine what Dana had to go through when her love was killed. This is a truly beautiful book & so different from any other book I have read. Made me cry more then once throughout the book.
