Wild Grapes: The Charlie Newsome Story

Description

Review "A very enjoyable, moving book! The best part was sitting on a full flight, laughing until tears were running down my cheeks after reading the steam room story! It took a few minutes to compose myself. I am a voracious reader and I like to think I know good writing. This is good writing." - B.S. (Boca Raton, Florida) "I really enjoyed the read and hearing stories about such a kind hearted spirit and talented athlete as Charlie is." - B. H. (Brisbane, Australia)"The book celebrates the life of a very special person. Charlie reminds us of what being in the moment really means. The little things that make you laugh are always present and most important in his life. Triptow has served him well, and those who will always love him, and remember him with words that proclaim him in a light of grace and honor." -D.T. (Las Vegas, Nev.)
