The Daddy Essays: Perspectives from an Unexpected Journey

By Neil Turner

The Daddy Essays is not a parenting manual. It's a book of stories from a dad who never expected his journey to include the loss of a child, the joy of becoming a stay-at-home father, or the privilege of raising a son with autism-all while learning to laugh, grieve, grow, and find meaning in diaper duty.

Collected here are the most meaningful and entertaining pieces from years of writing: honest snapshots of fatherhood, marriage, love, loss, resilience, and everyday absurdities. Some essays will make you laugh. Some may make you cry. All the essays will enrich your perspective on parenthood.

Told with humility, humor, and a deep affection for family, The Daddy Essays invites readers to dip in and out - one story at a time - on days when they need encouragement, perspective, or a reminder that life's sweetest joys often sit right beside its hardest truths.
