Book Review By Susan D. Minkalis
I Promised My Dad by Cheryl Landon Wilson

This is a cherished portrayal of Michael Landon written by his eldest daughter, Cheryl Landon Wilson.

Michael Landon is best known for his television roles in Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven. Besides being a famous actor, he also love producing and continued his dual career before a tragic illness killed him. Landon was an abused child and battles he knew had to fight. Cancer was his toughest battle as he desperately tried to overcome it. He was a doting father who listened to his children's thoughts and made quality family time.

The intimate conversations with father and daughter are shared candidly along with Michael Landon's dying moments and death. His insights are detailed as he expresses grave concern for global issues, the economy, education and morals.
