Nice collection of very sentimental vignettes about fathers, from their sons and daughters. I listened to the audio version and had to stop because the emotions were too strong. ( ) I enjoyed this book for the most part. It was interesting reading stories of fathers and families, and their struggles and happiness. We live in such a different world now, most of the entries in this book took place in the 50's through the 80's, and that was a totally different generation. Nonet... My mom found this book on the book exchange rack at her library. It's a sort of follow up book to Russert's book about his father. Many people sent him stories about their fathers after reading his book. Some of those stories are compiled here. There are many and you should find at least one to touch your heart. It made me miss my dad and my stepdad. Russert has collected and edited letters from throughout America, and most of them are very interesting and emotionally moving. They would be a good source for encouragement lessons or church talks. Because of the generation that responded, a lot of the letters could have been written about my own father. However, I just got tired of reading them about half-way through, as there was no way to make notes or index the content. I still miss Tim Russert. He was a sane voice in the midst of a host of partisan political talking heads. I didn't read his first book, too busy, but this one caught my eye and I decided to give it a try. I'm really glad I did because it brought back so many good memories of my own father (1924-2004). People around the country have shown that Dad's are very special and they expressed it very well. My thanks go out to everyone who shared their stories with Tim Russert and thus with the rest of us. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Menzioni
After the publication of journalist Russert's book about his father, he received thousands of letters from people who wanted to tell him about their own fathers, ordinary men who were remembered and cherished for some of their best moments-of advice, tenderness, strength, honor, discipline, and occasional eccentricity. Most of these daughters and sons were eager to express the gratitude they had carried with them through the years. Others wanted to share lessons and memories and, most important, pass them down to their own children. This book is for all fathers, young or old, who can learn from the men in these pages how to get it right, and to understand that sometimes it is the little gestures that can make the big difference for your child.--From publisher description.
