Items related to The Baby Wrestler: The Secret Life of a Happy SAHD
Meet THE BABY WRESTLER, a global troubleshooter for the United Nations who believed that he could handle any situation, until he found himself in charge of a precocious toddler, a hyperactive preschooler, a wolf-dog who liked to eat deliverymen, and an old house that was falling down around all of them. This comic memoir by a vexed soul who’s brought low, and then raised up by tiny terrorists of love is told through 50 short chapters alternatively hilarious and profound. Along the way, the book reveals some of the harrowing work experiences the author endured prior to dropping off the U.N.’s radar screen and taking on the impossible job of raising perfect hellions. Over the course of a decade, the paradox at the heart of his mission was revealed—there is no future in childcare, except the future itself. That paradox might explain why it is ten times more likely that an American man will be in prison than taking care of his kids at home. THE BABY WRESTLER is now poised to trigger a revolution in the way people view fathers--or mothers--who actually take care of their children.

About the Author:
I live on an ancient lava flow that composes the first mountain range west of New York City. On clear days, I can see Brooklyn, where I was born along with my 7 brothers and sisters. I became friends with Thomas Berry and Vine Deloria, Jr., two amazing men who changed the way I perceive our predicament here on Earth. When the United Nations called me in 1993 to help develop a group that was trying to save species and protect the oceans and atmosphere, I brought their perspectives to the task. The Global Environment Facility is now the world's largest environmental grant maker, though it's not without some major faults. Right now, I'm raising the kids, Chairing our town's Environmental Commission, restoring an ancient house, and training another wolf-dog.
