Dear Hunter,

As you may recall, I announced in June 2011 that I was writing a book about my dad, entitled “A Good Man: Rediscovering My Father, Sargent Shriver.”

The good news is that the book is finished and will be available in book stores on June 5 -- this coming Tuesday!

I am honored that the book has received some attention already, from O magazine, to Vanity Fair, to last weekend’s Parade magazine.  The book also has some great blurbs from President Clinton, Cokie Roberts, Tom Brokaw, and a few others.

I will be at work at Save the Children through tomorrow and then I embark on a three-week book tour, starting with an interview on The Today Show on Monday.  I am nervous but excited -- excited, really, to share Dad’s story of a strong faith that demanded acts of hope and love.  And those acts were the work of his life -- the Peace Corps, Head Start, Job Corps, and Legal Services, to name a few; his efforts alongside my mom to spread Special Olympics around the world; and, most importantly, his role as father and grandfather.

I am honored to try to help in that fight for social justice in my work here at Save the Children.  I am blessed by the strong support of our terrific Board of Trustees, our CEO, Carolyn Miles, and the incredibly talented team in our U.S. Programs division.

Thanks for your ongoing support and encouragement.  Please visit the Facebook (http://e2.ma/click/x1j9/h9ytd/9eqsw) and website (http://e2.ma/click/x1j9/h9ytd/p7qsw) for A Good Man, in case you want to know about the tour and upcoming events.  I hope to see you along the way!

Warmly,

Mark
