The Gift of Time: Letters to MY Children

Written as a series of letters to his children, Jorge Ramos—the journalist, tireless traveler, Emmy Award winner, and bestselling author—presents what is, without a doubt, his most personal and intimate book. There are things every father always wants to tell his children. About love. About death. About what is truly important in life. About sex. About God and religion. About their grandparents and their roots. About living in a foreign country. About how to get ahead. And Jorge Ramos didn't hold back. In The Gift of Time, he reminds us that we don't have to be on the verge of death to tell our children how much we love them and teach them the lessons that, we hope, will allow them to lead a more fulfilling, honest, and—why not?—joyful life. In this book, Jorge shares what he had never dared, not even, to suggest in public before. The Gift of Time is an intimate and moving look at the world we live in and the role a father must fulfill. Through his experience as a witness to many of the world's horrors and joys, Ramos offers his children sound advice they need not only to live but also to survive in today's turbulent world. His suggestions are universal. This book is timeless and filled with emotion and lessons that his children and his readers will be able to carry with them forever. Here we get to know not only the philosophy, values, and convictions of the television host but also the brother, the son, and, above all, the father who wants to tell his children all the things he has learned in life. "In the end," concludes the father-writer, "the only thing we have to give our children is time... our time."
