It’s hard to be a dad.
Most men aren't well prepared, and few have had good models to imitate. For Tim Delmont, the challenges of being a father intensified after his wife died unexpectedly at age thirty-three, leaving him to raise their ten-week-old daughter and five-year-old son. Read Tim's story to see what he learned as a single dad over his unpredictable, life-changing 10-year experience.
"Tim Delmont has written an incredibly touching memoir. His frank and unfiltered storytelling will have you turning page after page until suddenly there are no more pages to turn."
—Matt Logelin, author of the New York Times bestseller Fatherhood"
