To the Man I Called Father (eBook)

For fifty-two years, no one stood taller in my eyes than my father. Then, in the time it took my wife to speak a single sentence, I learned that the man who taught me to be a protector was the one person my daughter had needed protecting from.

To the Man I Called Father is the story of the ten years that followed — a father's reckoning with the deepest betrayal imaginable, a family's fight to survive it, and one man's long, unlikely road back to the people he almost lost. It is about the kind of forgiveness that doesn't excuse or forget, but that finally lets you set down a weight you've carried for years, so you can still hold on to the ones standing in front of you.

Unflinching, intimate, and ultimately filled with a fragile hope, this is a memoir for anyone who has ever carried something too heavy to say out loud — and a reminder that you are not alone.
