The Man I Never Met: A Memoir by Adam Schefter, Michael Rosenberg

5.0

The Man I Never Met is a beautifully written memoir by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Schefter writes that the “story is about September 12— and every day after.” His wife, Sharri’s first husband died on 9/11, and the book is a tribute to him in many ways. It is also the story of how Schefter, Sharri, her son Devon, and their daughter Dylan became a family. This is a unique concept for a memoir, but it is powerful and full of love and hope. It’s also a quick read that you can easily finish in a few days.
This book deserved 5 stars because of Schefter’s writing and the amount of research he must have done for the book. I recommend this one, but be prepared for an emotional read and have some tissues on hand.
