Her Father

Fülszöveg

"Her Father is an endearingly simple, straightforward love story."
f —Edward Hoagland
"A perversely heartening and optimistic book because it proves that even the most infuriating and self-destructive of men can be dragged kicking and screaming into adulthood under the instruction of a brave woman and a child who will get herself born no matter what. I believe everything Bill Henderson says, especially the tales he tells on himself because, as some have said about the Bible, would anyone have made up stories as full of folly and hunger and humbled power as these if they hadn't been true?"
—Rosellen Brown
"Reading Her Father made me want to stand up and cheer. Bill Henderson has written a book that is as direct, straightforward and uncompromising as an act of nature. This is a year in the life as it was truly lived—chaotic, crazy, dramatic—told without regrets or apologies. Out of this year? A Child. It's like witnessing a miracle. What a wonderful book."

"Her Father is about drinking, sex, religion and self-discovery. It's not always comforting, thank God. This memoir is, however, trenchant, iconoclastic and heartfelt—in short, True."
—Rick Moody
"Bill Henderson writes to tell the raw truth. He does it in a compelling, clean style, remarkable in its unblinking stamina. He believes that we should tell each other and thus becomes a stylist with purpose. Her Father is a shivering, shaking, quaking memoir of broken faith that needed an earthly miracle."
