HE TOLD HIS KIDS WHEN TO FOLLOW THE ADVICE OF A MURDEROUS DRUG LORD…
The $20,000 T-Shirt is a long advice letter from a loving father to his children, a roadmap of sorts on how to navigate this wild and weird world. It’s the book Devon Weaver needed from his dad but never received; unfortunately, his pops took all his stories and wisdom with him to the grave.
A fresh, moving, and entertaining journey, at times laugh-out-loud funny but never finger waggy, this coming-of-age tale documents one parent’s quest to overcome the palpable regret of not knowing his own father. In this insightful, emotional roller coaster ride, he learns we aren’t bound to the past or doomed to repeat our parents mistakes. We can come up with brand new blunders for our kids to avoid!
Overflowing with gritty honesty, humorous storytelling, and impactful life lessons, The $20,000 T-Shirt is the relatable truth and insight that every teenager desperately craves, but rarely receives from adults. This dad isn’t afraid to share his wins and many losses with his children in hopes their lives will greatly exceed his.
Praise for The $20,000 T-Shirt
For the general reader, I believe it will inspire and encourage them to start that project, read that book, focus on their strengths, and hopefully get off social media for god’s sake!!!

This is a great read for both the young and the young at heart. The chapters on his relationship with his Dad completely broke me down.
Wally Barton
I know Devon. I wanted to hate this book so bad so I could laugh at him for years. But I didn’t. It made me think of my Dad. Now that he’s gone, it made me cry thinking about all the things left unsaid between us.
Rob Wooten
The $20,000 T-Shirt took me by surprise. Written in a multi-faceted, self introspection/reflection style – Devon Weaver offers good old fashioned advice via likable vulnerability.
Terri Liebler
Entertaining and clever – a laugh out loud masterpiece by a loving dad that reveals the essential truths of life in a light-hearted and captivating style. Revel in the joy of topical quotes, sharp anecdotes, and reminiscing about the mistakes that we’ve all made but don’t want to admit to our children!
Monique Swanepoel
Read this book. Read it because it’ll split your sides, your pants, your face, and your heart. Read it because it’ll make you spit your beverage of choice across the room and possibly make you laugh-fart. Read it because of the advice about life and peanut butter, Nutella, and jelly. Read it because it’s written by a dad who loves his kids and isn’t afraid to unabashedly tell them, or the world.
Margarita Martinez
The author of The $20,000 T-Shirt, Devon Weaver, is probably one of the most honest writers you’ll ever find. The book was initially just written for his children, but I believe it has such great guidance for people of all ages that it deserves to be published.
Kimberly Hurley
This really was a great read. I kept looking forward to the next time I’d be able to pick it back up, and always left it feeling encouraged and motivated. Signs of a good book.
Lauren Neilan
This is an emotional roller coaster of a book, which was intended for
Weaver’s children’s’ eyes only. I think we are lucky that he decided to let other people read his work, as the book gives wonderful advice to children and adults alike. Even I, as a 30 year old, learned some new lessons.
Kerrie Irish
Devon Weaver’s missive to his children overflows with world hewn wisdom, wit, and insight for all ages. A classic of nonfiction narrative.
