Love, Les by Les Franklin
A heart warming exploration of Les’ commitment to humanity.
A lifetime of loving, living, learning, and loss provides the backdrop for Les Franklin's commitment, compassion, and inclusivity that he's held and fostered every day for the eight plus decades he's been on this earth.
As an activist, leader, father, and husband, his honest and generous account of much that has happened in his life reaches just about every corner of humanity. With Les' trademark humility and humor, he doesn't so much teach us about life, and give direction to ours, as much as he lifts the curtain so we can see how one man embraces the world.
As the only child of a single young mother, Les nevertheless found himself in a large and diverse family that showed him from an early age what love was all about.
He proves the old adage, "Whatever you want, give it away and it will be returned to you tenfold" because there are few men who love, and are loved, as much as Les Franklin. Whether you're looking for an example of achievement, a beacon of hope, or you're simply curious about what makes the man tick, Les Franklin delivers it within these pages.
