Now, a soon-to-be first-time father is charting a course through the perilous and choppy waters of living with a pregnant woman.

Written as a journal to his unborn child, Dear Dory is the unfiltered, irreverently funny, honest and heartfelt account of one man’s journey to fatherhood as he contemplates his new identity as a Daddy and prepares for the responsibility of a lifetime.
