Falling: A Daughter, a Father, and a Journey Back by Elisha Cooper
2.0
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.
