My Father the Chef. My Father the Cult Leader. My Father the Duke. My Father the Rock Star. These men (Jacques P pin, Saul Newton, John Wayne, and, respectively) are among the famous--and infamous--fathers featured in To Me, He Was Just Dad . . ., a collection of first-person essays written by the children of some of the world's most fascinating men. Though these men may be familiar to the reader, their children offer a unique, intimate view of them at their most unvarnished, through heartfelt reflections, charming anecdotes, and archival photographs.
Christopher Reeve's son fondly recalls both the adventure-filled days spent copiloting Cessnas with his Superman father, and the ways in which their relationship deepened after Reeve's devastating accident. Jon Bon Jovi's son reveals that it was a shared passion for football, not music, that brought him and his father together--culminating in Jon's proudly cheering him on as he played college ball for Notre Dame. And Cesar Chavez's son shares the most important lesson his father ever taught him: "In the fight for justice, you only lose when you stop fighting--you only lose when you quit." Taken together, these and the many other stories featured here serve as a moving celebration of the profound role fathers can play in the lives of their children.
