DEAR CHANDLER, DEAR SCARLETT

Mike Huckabee

A Grandfather’s Thoughts on Faith, Family, and the Things That Matter Most

Dear Chandler, Dear Scarlett touches on the time less topics of faith, love, family, overcoming adversity, and staying true to your values in the face of failure and temptation.
Mike Huckabee has worn many hats through out his life: pastor, politician, governor, presidential candidate, talk show host, rock bassist, pundit, husband, and father. But since his first grandchild was born, he’s found that the role of grandfather is more satisfying than just about any of the others. Huckabee wanted to give something to his grand son, Chandler, that would last forever. He began drafting a series of letters to Chandler recounting heartwarming stories from his past and the bittersweet lessons learned along the way. With the birth of his granddaughter, Scarlett, just a year later, Huckabee was further inspired to convey his love and wisdom.

“I wrote these letters so that long after I’m gone, you’ll know that I loved you, had great hopes for you, and wanted to give you my best advice on living in this tough world. If I can’t be there with you, I hope my letters will act as a sort of reminder of me—as if I’m standing there beside you, whispering in your ear, and putting my arm around your shoulder.”

As grandparents, we want to leave something behind to our grandchildren, ensuring that our memory lives on. Governor Huckabee's book is a perfect example of what we will do in order to preserve our legacy so that future generations will continue to feel our presence.

Mike Huckabee has written a book that touches all the bases, from hilarity to profun dity. I loved it and so will you.

As a grandfather of eleven, I clearly understand Governor Huckabee's great expectations for his grandchildren. These love letters will inspire every reader to love not just in word but in deed. You will see how to communicate love, offer wisdom, and enjoy special time with your grandchildren, while helping to protect their future.

Dear Chandler, Dear Scarlett is refreshing and uplifting-with simple and rare life les sons that we can all learn something from. Mike Huckabee is full of class and humbly shows it off in this book!

It is so very important to always have one's eye on the young-to nurture them and rear them in the most loving and intelligent of ways. Mr. Huckabee understands this and acts accordingly. He does it with grace and with wisdom. Thank you, sir.

Chandler and Scarlett are lucky to have a grandfather as thoughtful and caring as Mike Huckabee. Thisseries of heartfelt and deeply personal letters speaks not only to his grandchildren but also delivers a universal message of hope and love-life lessons that any parent or grandparent would want to pass on.
