"A man's relationship with his father: every boy, every man lucky enough to have a father in his life has to figure that out. My own father? I thought I knew him- even though he seldom talked about himself. And what I knew I hated - really, really hated. Cold, ill-tempered, thin-skinned, my father always seemed on the brink of erupting. Scared to death of him, I kept telling myself to find the courage to 'stand up to him.' When I was fifteen, I did. We did not speak to each other for ten years. And then we did- for eight hours. 'Dear Father, Dear Son' takes a journey of American history through the eyes of a father- from his dirt-poor Jim Crow Southern childhood, to the segregated Marine Corps of World War II, to a janitor turned California business man. Hard memories. One man discovered a son he never really knew. And the son found a man, a friend, a father who had really been there all along."--p.[4] of dust jacket.

Dear Dad chronicles the impact of fathers or fatherlessness at a time when a national initiative and even President Barack Obama have sounded the clarion call for responsible fatherhood amid a continuing crisis of paternal absenteeism. This at a time when U.S. Census figures show that 4 out of 10 American children are being born to single mothers with the number of unwed births among African Americans rising to 7 out of 10."In some ways, this is a how-to manual: How to overcome; how to succeed; how to live on; how to be a better father; how to forgive our fathers; and, even, how to love, remember, and honor our fathers," Fountain said. "Dear Dad is for everyone who has a father, for everyone who has lost one, loved one, or longed for one, for everyone who happens to be one, and for everyone who longs to be a better one." Contributors to the anthology include: Chicago Sun-Times Editor-in-Chief Don Hayner; former New York Times and Wall Street Journal writer Nichole Christian; Chicago Tribune reporter Lolly Bowean; Stephanie Gadlin, press secretary to Congressman Bobby Rush; Bloomberg News journalist Mario Parker; veteran Washington Post writer Hamil Harris; Chicago native, journalist and documentarian Teresa Sewell; Sylvester Monroe, former senior editor of Ebony magazine; Vincent Allen, pastor and founder of Agape Fellowship Ministries in Virginia; former Chicago Tribune reporter and freelance writer Monica Fountain; Chicago musician R.
