From Daughters & Sons to Fathers: What I’ve Never Said / Edited by Constance Warloe; Preface by Sydney Lea.

[Handle]A touching book that reaffirms the important bond between father and child.[body]

In an age of Kiss-And-Tell-All, isn’t it strange that so many have so much trouble expressing what is most enduring, and most true, to those who brought us into this world? This companion book to From Daughters to Mothers: I’ve Always Meant to Tell You, which sold 15,000 copies in hardback, and has been in print in paper since 1998, includes letters and poems to fathers from 83 of our greatest writers. Timely for Father’s Day, for every day.
