SueRandleman, "Crossville Chroncile"
"In the new book "The Dadly Virtues," fathers - from all walks of life and from all stages of family life - share their insights about what being a father means to them. And they do it with a liberal dose of irreverent humor. . . . Every journey needs a journal, and "The Dadly Virtues" is an excellent collection of journal entries about the fatherhood journey. The book makes you think, laugh and remember; you can t ask for much more than that." Wayne Parker, About.com

Depending on the author, the humor ranges from quiet dry wit to don t-drink-your-coffee-while-reading-because-you-will-snort-coffee-through-your-nose funny. P. J. O Rourke s chapter on how fatherhood turns men into adults will make you chuckle. Tucker Carlson s exploration on filling your children s lives with excitement and danger will make you laugh. So will Toby Young s on bad parenting, Andrew Ferguson s on empty nests, Rob Long s on marriage, and Joseph Epstein s on being agrandparent.
The chapters are not just about jokes. Each dispenses wisdom about some aspect of fatherhood. Any dad who had gone through the Talk on sex with their children will identify with the embarrassment experienced by Matt Labash. You may not be as into shared experiences in television watching with your children as James Lileks, but he reminds you of some shared experience with yourchildren.
Fathers who have been through the experiences related by the authors will nod in agreement. Fathers who have yet to go through some aspect of fatherhood outlined will get useful pointers. "The Dadly Virtues "is out in time for Father s Day. It is a book with application past Father s Day. This book is one that will resonate throughout theyear. MarkLardas, Galveston County Daily News (June 7, 2015)"
In the Fraternity of Dad, children haze their sires, who become men. Maybe. With one exception, each of the contributors to The Dadly Virtues is a member of the Frat of Dad and has stories about what he learned, what he wishes he d known, and what he still doesn t know.
The book is arranged chronologically, from new fathers to grandfathers, but you should start with the final essay, Joseph Epstein s reflections on being a single father and then helping raise his grandchildren. Amongst the frat, Epstein is the man, a mensch, the incredibly cool alumnus everybody wants to be or at least write as well as. Mike Hubbard, Ricochet"
