About this title

Review

Fathers lead the way for many of us. This book shows us the many ways they do. -Eric Sorensen, "The Seattle Times"

"In these true stories, some fathers work six days a week, and some get drunk every morning. Some are role models, and some are monsters. Some stay, and some leave. And their impact is undeniable." -Teresa Weaver, "The Atlanta Journal-Constitution"

""Our Fathers" offers a series of case studies in how the American male of the 20th century eschewed direct communication and affection." -"The Seattle Times"
