Father’s Day

“I loved this unflinching, heartbreaking, and ultimately triumphant tale of disability and difference, and what it means to be a father, a son, and a man.”

Jennifer Weiner, author of Then Came You and Fly Away Home

“Buzz Bissinger’s memoir — a paean to his remarkable son — is tender, funny, frightening at moments when love is re-stated; even brave — which memoiristic writing rarely gets the chance to be. It also reads as unflinchingly true, which should give it a long and useful life in the reader’s heart.”

Richard Ford

“Bissinger has the great writer’s gift of showing us we are not alone. Here he explores the religion all parents share: that our children’s essential goodness will somehow grant them safe passage through a rough world. What a book! Every parent should read it.”

Chris Matthews, host of Hardball and author of Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero

“Blunt, tender, sometimes harrowing, and always affecting, Father’s Day is a triumph. Bissinger unfurls the whole fabric of love and pride and heartbreak and salvation that makes a family, with an honesty that will make you gasp.”

Susan Orlean, author of Rin Tin Tin and The Orchid Thief
