Bought this in the store at Brix (a restaurant) in Napa night before last as we were having the final dinner of our Napa Valley trip, and read it on the way home yesterday. Useful advice on how to raise boys, from manners to parenting tips. Virtually nothing I didn't already know, but perhaps a lot I hadn't thought about. Good practice thinking through issues before they ever come up. Also learned that "yes sir" and "yes ma'am" are a Southern thing. I didn't know that.
