I had a wonderful dad too and wrote a book in his memory without the bad language. It is emotional, funny and touching. Just a story of love between a father and daughter.

This one sounds interesting in that I'm curious as to what kinds of things he would like his daughters to learn.

What a great book for this month! I hadn't head about it before now but just reading what it's about had be tearing up a little.

I'm not really into non-fiction or memoirs. I think it's because I had a bad experience with several and I just have a bad taste in my mouth. However, the males in your family(s) seem wonderful and I'm highly intrigued by the synopsis of this book.

I come from a family of eleven children and my father, while he always provided for us monetarily, was never really there emotionally. He was a grumpy, angry father. And while I know he had a lot to deal with, it's one of those things children will never understand. On a happier note, my husband is a fabulous father and my father is a better grandfather than he was a father. But, oh well, life is what it is. :D

Karen - I love books about fathers - they're so important and the good ones never seem to get enough appreciation.

Jenny - Well, if the review has you tearing up, you better stock up on the Kleenex before you read this one!

Jen - The males in my family really are wonderful. Not perfect, of course, but good men, husbands and fathers. It's a real blessing for me and for my kids to have them in our lives.

It's easy to take good, kind, involved fathers for granted. It's only as I've gotten older that I've realized how lucky I am to have a dad like mine. Not everyone is as lucky, unfortunately.

I think I want to read it. I might bawl my eyes out though. It would be interesting I think to see how this father dealth with things knowing that he might pass away soon. My dad died very suddenly and it was a huge shocker, and I wonder what it was like for this man and his family to know he most likely wasn't going to make it.

Fathers ARE vitally important to children, so I'm really excited to read this one and see how the author handled everything.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for being on the tour.

I got goosebumps reading this post, it made me think of my father. Sounds like a good book.
