This book was not at all what I thought it was going to be. It was filled with some very good, perspective-correcting thoughts - both from the parenting side of things as well as from the does-this-really-matter side of things.

Merged review:

This book was not at all what I thought it was going to be. It was filled with some very good, perspective-correcting thoughts - both from the parenting side of things as well as from the does-this-really-matter side of things.

I'd rate this as 2.5 stars.

A good concept-a memoir about a father dealing with the emotional aspect of his young daughter having cancer. But the book fell flat for me. There wasn't a lot of depth. The most interesting aspect of this memoir was him describing his rage and anger he felt about everything and lashing out at people (even strangers). I think that is a very real and valid emotion/side effect of the stress and depression he was experiencing about his daughter's treatment. But I wanted more, I wanted more depth, more self-reflection, more "Getting over it" and moving on.

I don't know. It was just a short, not very deep book.
