Raising the Dad
Author: Tom Matthews
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1250094771
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
"A fearless, angry, brutally funny poke in the eye of the American music machine and pop culture industry. Tom Matthews' memorable, highly readable first novel is that rare literary artifact - a satire with teeth." —Tom Perrotta on Like We Care Raising the Dad is a small masterpiece that charts the all-too-familiar forces hastening the decline of the average American family, and in it Tom Matthews has produced a classic novel of modern life. In Raising the Dad, the dysfunction in John Husted’s family is vexing enough: His marriage has slipped into a state of passionless functionality. His teenage daughter is growing distant and mean. His older brother—a washed-up heavy-metal singer—is fresh out of jail, and their mother may be slipping away to dementia. Things just seemed to veer off course since the death of the family patriarch many years earlier. But then John is stunned to learn that his father’s fate was not what he had long believed it to be. It falls upon John to decide if he should break the news to his family, knowing that the truth could make the family whole – or smash it to pieces. “Raising the Dad mines family dysfunction for all of its complex truths and wild emotions. Tom Matthews strikes the damnedest balance—aching loss, brutal humor—as his befuddled protagonist deals with mind-blowing circumstances.”—Darin Strauss, author of Chang and Eng and Half-A-Life “The sensitivity and unexpected humor that Tom Matthews brings to this emotionally complex book extends to the protagonist’s rock singer brother.” —Producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Foo Fighters)

Book Description
"Raising a Father is a celebration. This affectionate and appealing story gives smiles, tears and renewed faith in the human spirit." -Brent Green, Author, Marketing to Leading-edge Baby Boomers: Perceptions, Principles, Practices, Prediction "... should be required reading for the planet. Uplifting, instructive, and describes so much of what fathers should aspire to in their relationship with their children." -Herb Rubenstein, Sustainable Business Group "Raising a Father provides a very candid and honest assessment of the everyday obstacles we all face in trying to attain the proper work-life balance." - Peter J. Pittman, President, Denver West Rotary Club During Arjun Sen's tenure in the corporate world, a wise, corporate stair-climbing friend told him, "Arjun, in order to achieve bigger glories, one must make smaller sacrifices in life." It was clear he referred to spending less time with family, not being there for children's special moments, and similar "small" sacrifices in personal life. Sen learns the hard way that these sacrifices come with large costs, and in Raising a Father he recounts his journey to this realization. Foreseeing his father-daughter future reduced to obligatory phone calls on birthdays and Father's Day, Sen leaves corporate America. He founds a home-based marketing consulting company in Denver, his ten-year-old daughter's favorite city; names his daughter as manager; and begins the real journey of becoming a true father. In this memoir, Sen discusses how he now measures success differently. Raising a Father tells the story of how a young girl uses her charm, her love, and her caring nature to train her dad to become a better father and a better person.

Pages : 238
Book Description
Raising Father is about caring and caring people, and the essentials in each that enable them. It is a story of role reversals and concurrent, clashing perspectives, as recorded by an articulate young daughter after her mother’s death. In this insightful saga, she weaves the brilliant narrative of her father Max, a conceptually challenged, creatively gifted, and recently widowed man. The story unfolds to introduce the now deeply missed person–-the deceased wife and mother—whose extraordinary care, acuity and integrity, nevertheless, continues to shape the ones she has so loved. What is in jeopardy is the trajectory of each of her loved ones, and the deep values and commitments that she riveted.
