In this compilation, some of today's best-loved authors write about fathers they have known and fathers they have imagined (and sometimes, a little bit of both). Diana Gabaldon recalls the mix of optimism and hardheaded common sense bequeathed to her by her father, the youngest of fifteen children.Eileen Goudge tells a tale of suburban paranoia and unexpected heroism in "My Father, the Communist." Faye Kellerman reminisces about her days spent underfoot in her dad's deli - where she eventually grew into a real working woman - in "The Summer of My Womanhood." In "Shadows of My Father," Carole Nelson Douglas, who lost her fisherman father at an early age, struggles to fill the missing puzzle pieces of memory.
