The novel engages readers in an entertaining story of love and family life with a few complications thrown in. Follow the characters for a year, from Father's Day to Father's Day in their heartfelt struggles and joys. See how, and how not, to love in the 21st Century.
Father's Day is rich in intimate feelings and captivating events. The writing style cuts close to the human heart. The only closer route through the male heart requires autopsy and dissection. Which, generally speaking, most people find far messier and not nearly as entertaining.
Readers find it easy to associate to the characters as they unabashedly portray strengths and weaknesses. The novel concludes with key lessons on life and love drawing people back into the fold of humanity regardless of the emotional scar tissue endured through their journey.
Throughout the book, the openhearted and comical style garners laughs. Sections ground readers in tough emotional times educing melancholy and an occasional tear. Male readers see how their lives can be swayed in ways they never expect and women glimpse what awaits them down the road of marriage.
It is spiritual, albeit in diluted doses and cloaked in ways that will appeal to the masses. The dialogue reminds readers that we are spiritual as well as physical beings. The story touches on the notion of sacred showing that emotional upheavals are tests that help define us and lead to growth.
