Walk with Me

A moving and insightful new memoir by award-winning columnist, inspirational speaker, and bestselling author David Magee. Perfect for readers of his previous book, Dear William, David Sheff’s Beautiful Boy, Luke Russert’s Look for Me There, and Mitch Albom’s Tuesdays with Morrie.

A father spends years trying to teach his son how to live, but it isn’t working for either of them.

In the span of just fourteen months, David and his son Hudson each faced a life-threatening crisis, overwhelmed by addiction and disconnection. As they struggled to find their way, they learned to be vulnerable, discovered faith in God, and accepted support from the people they love. Along the way, the son became the teacher.

Walk with Me shows that vulnerability, grace, and faith can transform not just ourselves, but entire generations. With candor, warmth, and humor, Magee tells the story of a father and son growing up together, learning to listen, speak honestly, and build a closeness neither had known before.

A celebration of the bond between fathers and sons, and what it takes to rebuild it, Walk with Me offers hope and a path to anyone who has struggled to reach someone they love. It reveals how learning from one another can change a family’s future and make room for connection and joy in our own lives.
