Meade's chapbook is full of insight, humor, and truly remarkable writing. This book was able to examine the role and expectations that are attached to fatherhood, breaking them into bits, only to expose the very real, messy, beautiful reality beneath it. I am not a parent, but I could relate to the depth and beauty of relay that occurs within our closest relationships. This book has a unique take on what it means to be a parent and a witness to another's existence and, upon closer examination, how we witness ourselves through the heartache, expectation, laughter, and constant forgiveness that love demands.
