About This Book
Bestselling
author Bruce Feiler was a young father when he was diagnosed with cancer. He
instantly worried what his daughters' lives would be like without him. "Would
they wonder who I was? Would they wonder what I thought? Would they yearn for my
approval, my love, my voice?"
Three days later he came up with a stirring idea of how he might give them that
voice. He would reach out to six men from all the passages in his life, and ask
them to be present in the passages in his daughters' lives. And he would call
this group "The Council of Dads."
"I believe my daughters will have plenty of opportunities in their lives," he
wrote to these men. "They'll have loving families. They'll have each other. But
they may not have me. They may not have their dad. Will you help be their dad?"
The Council of Dads is the inspiring story of what happened next. Feiler
introduces the men in his Council and captures the life lesson he wants each to
convey to his daughters--how to see, how to travel, how to question, how to
dream. He mixes these with an intimate, highly personal chronicle of his
experience battling cancer while raising young children, along with vivid
portraits of his father, his two grandfathers, and various father figures in his
life that explore the changing role of fathers in America.
This is the work of a master storyteller confronting the most difficult
experience of his life and emerging with wisdom and hope. The Council of Dads is
a touching, funny, and ultimately deeply moving book on how to live life, how
the human spirit can respond to adversity, and how to deepen and cherish the
friendships that enrich our lives.
