This Is How Books Change Lives

A friend’s dad, retiring soon after a career sitting under fluorescent lights, sent him this excerpt from a book called SHADOW DIVERS with the note: “Slapped me in the face. Too late for me though.”

My friend, sitting under his own fluorescents lights, was so moved that he quit his job to become a commercial diver. Okay that didn’t happen. He just forwarded it to me, and then I quit my job to become a commercial diver. Okay that didn’t happen either. I posted it, and you read it, and then you quit your job to become a commercial diver.
