Review
Fathers parent very differently from mothers, and vive la difference! This book of short personal essays focuses on the father-son relationships between Michael Murphy and his three boys. Whether inadvertently peeing on the cat or going through the agonies of LIKING a girl for the first time, Murphy's kids come to life for us.
In "The Big D," his 6-year-old sobs, wanting to know what happens to the stars when they disappear. Once reassured, he says, "Hey Dad, can I go play Nintendo now?" It's not so much what the kids do--all kids have moments of surprise brilliance and poignancy--it's how well Murphy filters and responds to them. You'll be glad to meet this big-hearted father who has a lot to teach all of us.
From the Publisher
Dr. Murphy is concerned with a lack of father figures for young men and women in today's family configuration. In addition to family counseling, he works extensively with young men in prison.
