Fatherless Sons: Healing the Legacy of Loss

Praise for Fatherless Sons

"Research shows that most men now are better fathers than their own fathers were to them. A generation of men are 'making it up, ' giving to their children more than they received. No one describes the poignancy—and hope—of contemporary fatherhood better than Jonathan Diamond's heartfelt and insightful new book. For every man who had a father—and who wants to be one."
