Mattingly Gets Praise for Children's Book

The son of current District Deputy Tom Mattingly is gaining headlines for his recently published children's book, "Father Like a Tree," that was recently self-published after Tom's son (named Tom also, Tom wrote the book under the pen name of Matthew S. Field), lost his wife to an aggressive form of breast cancer.
