It Was A Beautiful Day When My Father Died
It Was A Beautiful Day When My Father Died: On Fatherhood and Forgiveness
"A searing, open-hearted account, which is courageous in its complexity and honesty.
The seemingly impossible journey of grief, acceptance, and forgiveness recorded in this work
is one shared, to some extent, by every one of us. This book takes the often abstract concepts of grace and compassion and makes them exquisitely–often painfully–real."
—Jonathan Puls, Chair, Department of Art, Professor of Art and Art History
Available in paperback, Kindle, and Audible Books (narrated by author) from Amazon.
