I have to say one of most touching, the part that brought me to tears the most, was seeing Mackenzie hold his daughter and say, “Forgive me.” It wasn’t until my friends started giving it away that any conversation came up about publishing and then the movie.Īnd then it came about and what a beautiful story it was. And then I made 15 copies at Christmas for my kids and 6 of them went to them and Kim got a copy and the rest of my friends and I went back to work. This weekend represents 11 years for me of deconstruction and reconstruction of my own heart, the broken place on the inside. “Something that puts in one place how you think because you think outside of the box.” And I’ve taken 50 years of history and 50 years of questions and losses and working through my own shack, you know, the broken places where I got stuck and I am trying to wrap it inside this story about Mackenzie. William Paul Young: It was the year I turned 50 and Kim, my wife, had been asking me for almost four years, “Someday, as a gift for our kids, would you write something?” Because I had written stuff and given to friends and family. Was there a particular moment or part in your life that made you want to write this book?
