Home Game: An Accidental Guide to Fatherhood

<p>A book that explores the difference between the idea of fatherhood and a man&rsquo;s actual experience of it.</p> <h3>The Washington Post - Amy Joyce</h3> <p>From the first laugh-out-loud anecdote about his toddler daughter fending off bully boys with words that make Lewis blush and beam, to his wife's nightmarish postpartum depression, he illustrates the life of a modern-day dad who is, yes, much more hands-on than his father, but who still tries to justify not spending time with his second infant after birth&#8230;it's similar to Anne Lamott's wonderful <i>Operating Instructions.</i> It's hard to believe anything could compare to her painfully and wonderfully honest book about the first year of her son's life. But here it is. And in a dad's voice, no less. How so not our father's generation.</p>
