Amazon.com description: Product Description: For many women, fathers are a mystery that puzzles and haunts us. They are âthe other,â neither lover nor son, defined more often by silence than words, by emotional absence than physical presenceâuntil now.
In twenty-two original narratives, some of Canadaâs most acclaimed writers share stories, memories, insights, and revelationsâfrom the comic to the tragic, and every shading in betweenâabout the first man in their lives. Complex, compelling, unforgettable, these stories will open a fresh and intense conversation with daughters everywhere about the men theyâve observed since childhood: their fathers.
