CHARACTER IS DESTINY

Here is a series of stories that illuminate such virtues as courage, integrity, enthusiasm, and loyalty. A person who epitomizes each virtue is profiled, and his or her story is told. McCain's narration, although a bit didactic in tone, has a grandfatherly quality, and if listeners are ready to learn the moral, they'll be treated to a well-told story. Pat Tillman's, Mother Teresa's, and Oseola McCarty's are a few stories that are told. McCain speaks from experience when he tells his own story and urges listeners to use these people as models for character and follow their paths. Young adults are encouraged to listen; however, adults will be more receptive. D.L.M. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 06]
