The book, written with Turk Pipkin, is billed as "a collection of intimate letters reminding readers of the endless promise and continuous obligations of all Americans...to stand with unity, resolve, and faith."On top of sharing his thoughts on his country, heroes and future generations, Nelson will also look back on some of his beloved lyrics in the book. On Friday, Nelson also released his 71st studio album. "That's Life" is his second collection of songs famously performed by his late friend, Frank Sinatra.
