I want to personally thank both Holiday and Sonntag for introducing a new way of looking at Fatherhood. The configuration of the chapters had me starting a young life with history and understanding of one’s self. I was able to relate in the "Technology Gap" chapter and refer my experiences as a child and my grandparents. I was able to gain a clear vision and path as I am a teacher. I am truly honored and grateful to be a part of this life teaching and will cherish and embrace the finding with my own family.
