Pull Up a Chair

The Family Room is a summer series — seven short letters written not for the professional, but for the person. They're for the quiet hours: the still house at the end of a long day, the ordinary Tuesday, the season that hasn't paid off yet.

These aren't articles to skim. They're conversations meant for the people who share your last name. A new letter opens every other week through September. Pull up a chair and stay a while.

Love your people well. The time is now. — Duke

Before You Go

Wherever this summer finds you — worn out, waiting, or fighting to come all the way home — you're not carrying it alone. Read these slow. Share the one that names what someone you love is walking through. And come back; there's always another letter coming.

Love your people well. The time is now.

— Duke

If these letters are landing, they grew from the same soil as a book on the way

— A Grandfather's Letters releases September 23. More here as it gets close.
