I don't know how many grains of sand are left in the hourglass of my life. So I wanted to make sure that there was something that my kids could hold onto. This is a book that I wish I could have read to them when they were little kids.

Dan's Story

Many years ago, Dan Holland was tucking in his daughter Callie, who was about seven or eight years old at the time. He wanted to explain to her, in no uncertain terms, just how much he loved her. He was searching for the right words and it just came out of nowhere: "I love you infinity forever."

"Infinity" is how much. "Forever" is how long. Callie was a little confused by that. And so the book was born — to explain to our kids, in no uncertain terms, how deep and how wide that love really is.

"My mom left me the most valuable inheritance, which isn't money. It's faith, it's family, and it's friends. Faith is whatever you believe in. Family, faith, and friends — those three, in that order. This book is the family part of the equation."— Dan Holland

The book also carries the memory of Dan's mother, who passed away unexpectedly. She modeled through her life — through words and through action — the most important things. She was everybody's best friend because she was so loving and caring, and she showed Dan what it means to be a good parent.

Dan's father told him on the phone one day: "Your mom is so proud of you. You have become the man that she always knew you could become."

Infinity Forever is the first in a trilogy. Faith, family, and friends — this is the family part of the equation. Two more books are on the way.

"There's a lot of craziness in our world. A lot of darkness, a lot of fear. And the older I get, the more I recognize the opportunity to do my part in sharing a light. And light, I believe, conquers the darkness. This book is part of the light."— Dan Holland

When Dan finished writing the book, his wife Lindsay put it simply: "Why would this just be for our kids? You should be sharing this with other people."

And so here it is — a book Dan dreams of seeing on every kid's bookshelf in America.

Dan Holland, author of Infinity Forever

Dan Holland

Dan Holland is a New Canaan, Connecticut native — a 1993 New Canaan High School graduate, one of six brothers, and a lifelong lover of writing. His family has been in New Canaan for almost 50 years. After the unexpected passing of his mother, Dan wrote the book he wishes he could have read to his own kids when they were little.

Infinity Forever grew from a bedtime moment with his daughter Callie, when he was searching for the right words to tell her how much he loved her: "I love you infinity forever." His mother's legacy — faith, family, and friends — runs through every page.

Dan is deeply focused on spreading light and love in the world. When he's not writing, you'll find him spending time with his five children and his wonderful wife Lindsay, meditating, or dancing in the kitchen.
