Three of a Perfect Pair is a powerful, heartfelt, and often hilarious memoir about fatherhood, family, and finding harmony in the unexpected. When Luke MacPherson's third son, Teddy, was born with Down syndrome and a congenital heart defect, life changed overnight-but not in the ways he feared.
Told with deep sincerity, poetic humor, and rock-and-roll grit, this is a story of what it means to become more-more aware, more connected, more alive. From hospital corridors to heavy metal mosh pits, from school pickup lines to late-night jam sessions, MacPherson chronicles a family's journey through diagnosis, surgeries, setbacks, and celebrations-all while holding onto the beauty, chaos, and radical joy of everyday life.
With nods to a wide cast of characters, this memoir is both a love letter to his son and a rally cry for inclusion. It's about parenting, yes-but also about growth, music, friendship, and building a world where every kind of heart has a place.
Whether you're a parent, an educator, an advocate, or simply someone who believes in the power of love to transform everything-it's a story you'll carry long after the final page.
