Letter from Reader: Raising Cain Provides Encouragement

MT · Jun 14, 2010 ·

Christa Hylton shared this note about Raising Cain as a source of encouragement for her and her husband Jeff. Christa and Jeff write:

Dear Dr. Thompson,

I am so grateful and so glad that you and Dr. Kindlon wrote “Raising Cain”. Our little son was a late-in-life surprise and we are overcome with love and trepidation.

This book is a great source of encouragement to my husband and I. And it is also, apparently, delicious. Behold: my son George, enjoying your book:

All the best,
Christa and Jeff Hylton
