Council of Dads


The Council of Dads by Cruce FeilerMy Daughters, My Illness, and the Men Who Could Be Me

A moving, illuminating new work from New York Times bestselling author Bruce Feiler that touches on life and death, love and fatherhood, and offers inspiration for us all.

When faced with a life-threatening diagnosis, Bruce Feiler's thoughts turned to his two daughters - who would fill the roles that he had filled as their father? Turning to his close circle of friends, Bruce crafted a "council" of dads to whom he could trust his daughters' upbringing. Get the whole story here!
