For moms and dads and kids, alike

I actually gave this book to my mother who enjoyed it as much as I did. We found it a valuable illustration of relationships to be learned from and entertained by...

Forget the cover- listen to the insight

For all of you who have enjoyed works by authors such as James Alan McPherson, you will not be dissapointed by this one! The essays afforded in this collection were well arranged and complimentary, dealing with such diversities as retardation, sexual abuse, coming of age, child innocence...bottom line: a father's experience in love. The prolific writers who contributed to this book make the reading enjoyable at least as short fiction...add the truth and emotion of memoir and they become gems. You may not like each of the essays, but the collection overshadows any single dislike.
