It began as another newspaper assignment, a celebrity profile of
the children's television icon. But in Fred Rogers, Texas
journalist Tim Madigan found more than a fascinating subject. From
their first meeting in 1995, at Rogers' invitation, the two became
unlikely friends, a deep and abiding relationship that lasted until
Rogers' death in 2003. In that time, Madigan found Rogers to be
much more than the calm and compassionate personality of
television. He was a person of unique human greatness who embodied
love, compassion and wisdom his every waking moment. He was the
transcendent being who guided Madigan through periods of
life-threatening depression and the tragic death of a sibling and
helped him heal his difficult relationship with his father. I'm
Proud of You reveals Fred Rogers as a person who deserves a place
among history's greatest people. It chronicles male friendship at
its finest and most powerful. And it is a book that has already
brought hope and inspiration to many thousands of its readers. With
this second edition, including a new afterword by the author, the
inspiration continues. "Fred comes to life in I'm Proud of You,
with his simple goodness etched on every page, and his complicated
greatness etched in the heart of every reader who finishes the book
and decides to become a better person."-Tom Junod, writer at large
for Esquire "A loving testament to the power of friendship and to a
most remarkable man." --The Boston Sunday Globe "I'm Proud of You
will connect with the same audience that loved Mitch Albom's
Tuesdays with Morrie and its celebration of male mentoring and
friendship." - USA Today "A poignant, inspiring account..." -
