A dying man’s son reflects on their relationship and fatherhood as he considers how to raise his own two boys in this funny, poignant memoir.
Humorist and family-man Jason Good is an only child with an atypical story to tell. His isn’t the usual rant about how hard it is to be a modern father or a tale about a damaging relationship with his father. Jason grew up with a charismatic, communicative, affectionate, and frustrated political science professor for a father—a man who taught him most everything about how to be a dad, how to live. Jason was figuring out how to parent his own two young boys when his dad was diagnosed with cancer and told he had nine months to live. That moment, and the year that followed, inspired Jason to tell the story of something he had always taken for granted: how his father had earned his true friendship and admiration in adulthood by the way he had parented him to manhood.
Rock, Meet Window shows how an imperfect father can be perfection in all the ways that matter in the end, moving us to alternately hoot and become misty-eyed through his retelling of the friction points and lessons learned. Ultimately, this book inspires us to reconsider our own relationships and to appreciate the power of fatherhood.
“A vantage point on the average American family that is sweet, funny, and deep. Good builds a world you want to linger in for a while and a family you root for until the very end.” —Parents Magazine
