Letters from the Heart …and Other Places by Thomas Giles
Tom Giles has learned a thing or two about love and life in his time on this earth, and he shares those things — from the heartfelt to the colorful — with readers in Letters from the Heart …and Other Places.
Giles draws on inspiration from his life as a husband, father, grandfather, and engineer working in Houston. He is also a proud member of the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Class of ’58 and pays homage to Texas A&M University, his time spent on campus, and his classmates, sharing how they shaped his life.
Featuring real letters sent to employees, snapshots from his life and the lives of those he loves, and his musings sprinkled between, Letters from the Heart leaves readers feeling as if they know Giles. In the essay We Called Her “Mama,” the doting grandmother that influenced his life so much jumps off the page, and you can almost picture yourself singing along at her memorial service.
Giles weaves humor and sincerity with ease, reflecting on the joy of giving during Christmas time as well as the time his coworker ended up with a bull in his swimming pool. Each essay reveals another aspect of his life that he holds dear, usually with a joke or two.
Letters from the Heart is just that: Giles writing straight from his heart to yours.
