Come Home. Love, Dad
In Come Home. Love, Dad, Shelly Reuben introduces us to her father, whose world was "a merry array of spools, batteries, metal clasps, perforated brass sheets, plugs, dials, gaskets and switches."
Samuel Reuben invented burglar alarms.
"The soundtrack of my childhood was punctuated by very loud and very shrill bells," Shelly tells us. And through the enchanting letters that he wrote to her over the years…wonderful epistles that impart proverbs, recite poetry, and convey wit, wisdom and whimsy, Shelly Reuben introduces us to a truly amazing man who always let his daughter know that he loved her, and never let her forget that he wanted her to Come Home. Love, Dad.
