Recently Featured in People Magazine and on CNN.

James Arruda Henry was in his mid-nineties when he began to learn to read and write. For over nine decades he had lived successfully without being able to sign his own name. Inspired by a book written by a 98 year old man who had also lived without literacy, James began quietly practicing his own signature at the dining room table and went on to hand write his first book. From his earliest recollections of his grandfather's farm in the Azores to a snippet of his daily life today, James shows how a life powered by commitment, hard work and determination can redefine a person at any age.

As an adult literacy tutor, I often tell my adult learners who are anxious that they're learning to read and write so many years out of school age: "it's never too late."

I also share with the adult learners the book, "Life Is So Good: One Man's Extraordinary Journey through the 20th Century and How he Learned to Read at Age 98" by George Dawson. Now, I have another wonderful book to share with them, James Henry's book about his life.

This book is filled with stories from Mr. Henry's life. The chapters are not long, but they are significant events in Mr. Henry's life that he felt they should be written about by him, once he learned to read and write. The stories are brief vignettes of a life with struggles, sorrow, laughter and love. Some chapters are humorous, quite a few chapters are somber, and one is especially sorrowful which opens the book.

Honest, clear writing from a man that spent nearly his entire life functionally illiterate. I am recommending this book (and Mr. Henry's journey to literacy) to other adult tutors, family, friends, and colleagues.

In a Fisherman Language An Autobiography by Captain James Arruda Henry eBook James Arruda Henry Reviews

A great read; inspirational and provides joy for someone who found his voice even late in life. A good book for one's library )
Not what I expected. Pleasantly surprised! Enjoyable!
Not full of sparkling dialogue or richly described scenes, but full of the author's voice and a treasure nonetheless. Inspirational!
Amazing )
Relive the life and times of Mr. Henry as he tells a personal tale of life and hard knocks during the 20th century, He stepped into the ring for a few dollars; took up commercial fishing, lived through the wars. His biggest challenge was tackling the English language via reading and writing. It shows that if he can do it, you and I can take our own Goliaths.
This book made me cry. Not because it was sad, although there were a few sad stories in there. I cried because I was so happy for the author that he didn't give up, that he learned to write so we could enjoy his wonderful stories. Thank you, Captain!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's not for everyone...but if you understand the simplicity of live and the deep joy of story telling you would likely enjoy this simple short book. I do wish it was a tad deeper, this man had more stories in him. Also, bc of the nature of this book being written by a man who was once illiterate is very inspiring.
