It all began when actor Sidney Poitier flew to Atlanta in late December 2005 for the birth of his first great-granddaughter.
"When I arrived at the hospital, I saw my great-granddaughter in her mother's arms," he recalled. "Directly behind her was my daughter, the baby's grandmother. Next to her was my former wife, who was the baby's great-grandmother.
"I saw that I was in a room of four generations. I would soon be 80, and Ayele was one day old. I realized that the time between us would be short."
He decided to write a book in the form of letters.
