This collection of letters is a great reminder of how similar we are as humans, regardless of the time in which we are born. The love of family, and angst with the family are on full display. One cannot doubt the love between Wolfgang and his father, sister, and his wife when reading these personal letters.

It is a stunning reminder that hard work and talent are not necessarily enough to achieve financial rewards. It is heart breaking to see how rosy Wolfgang frequently saw the future for himself and his family; and to understand that the future he saw was never manifest in his own lifetime. One wonders what further heights he might have reached if a few different decisions had been made along the way.
