The Measure of a Man

The Measure of a Man tells the heartwarming and inspiring story of Donald Bailey, who, as a teenager, leaves behind his home in California and sets out to make his mark on the world. Many years later, during her father’s final moments of his battle with cancer, Elizabeth Bailey recalls pivotal moments in her father’s life—from his childhood spent in an orphanage to his growth into a hardworking man, loving husband, and dedicated father of nine children. A series of tender snapshots of growing up in the Bailey household, The Measure of a Man captures the importance of leaving a legacy of love and faith—and shows that in the quest to create a good life for others, one can craft a legacy that lasts much longer than a lifetime.
