I received this book a a present from my teammates and had this as my reading companion for a couple of weeks.This book is a collection of essays from twenty, mostly awarded, fiction writers on the subject of fatherhood. There was an essay on being a dad of twins, being a dad of adults, even an essay of a transsexual.
The essays offer insights on how it is to be a dad nowadays and shares various experiences on being a dad. Most of the essays are humorous and all show the tender side of being a father.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is tired of reading how-to-be-a-great-dad books and just want to hear it from real dads' experiences.
