Read The Most
Fascinating
Book of The Day—
MY SON, MY SON!
By
HOWARD SPRING
“And the king was much
moved, and went up to the
chamber over the gate, and
wept: and as he went, thus
he sald. O my son Absalom,
mv son, my son Ahsalom!
would God I had died for
thee. O Absalom, my son,
my son!"
The life stories of two fathers and their two sons . . . .
from a humble beginning, it moves with the rising
fortunes of the fathers . . . and thru it all runs the
theme of the fathers’ love for their sons, their strug-
gles from poverty to success, their dreams for the
boys, and the way in which fate answered those
dreams. This straightforward, vigorous story is one
to read for the joy of sharing in the lives of attractive
men and women; a story to remember for the strange
way in which those lives shaped one another into a
dramatic unity.
