A Father’s Hand is an engaging look at the circumstances and events that influenced the life of the author, Henry Youndt From his childhood in a farming community near Adamstown, PA, to working in a large hospital in Miami, to climbing the management ladder in local woodworking companies, Youndt shares the stories that shaped his future. He also shares some of his poetry and thoughts about life. As a youth, he spent many hours trucking with his father, who taught by example rather that verbal interaction. Henry shows us how childhood fantasies evolved into volunteer work as a seaman, and how repeating Algebra I led to a career in working with numbers. He takes us along on his journey from a mediocre student to a respected author. Youndt concludes, “It has been an interesting journey, even though I didn’t know where I was going”
