About the book

A quiet reckoning, written plainly

A day that’s supposed to celebrate you specifically can somehow still feel complicated after a divorce — depending on custody arrangements, and on how you’re actually feeling about your own fathering. A short, honest guide to a day that isn’t as simple as the cards suggest.

What readers will find inside

What to do if you don’t have your children that day. What to do if you do, but it feels different. And the quiet, rarely-discussed difficulty many fathers carry about this day alone. Written plainly, for a Sunday that asks more of you than it looks.

When new pieces arrive

Be quietly told when there’s something new to read

Chapter One

From the opening pages

A day that’s supposed to celebrate you specifically can somehow still feel complicated after a divorce. Custody arrangements, distance, and how you’re actually feeling about your own fathering all shape what the day is really like.

This short book covers what to do if you don’t have your children that day, what to do if you do but it feels different, and the quiet, rarely-discussed difficulty many fathers carry about this day alone.
