The Book of Charlie: Wisdom from the Remarkable American Life of a 109-year-old man

by David van Drehlt

When Washington journalist David Von Drehle moved to Kansas, he met a new neighbor who was more than a century old. Little did he know that he was beginning a long friendship—and a profound lesson in the meaning of life. When a shocking tragedy interrupted his idyllic boyhood, Charlie White mastered survival strategies that reflect thousands of years of human wisdom. Von Drehle came to understand that Charlie’s resilience and willingness to grow made this remarkable neighbor a master in the art of thriving through times of dramatic change.
