Big Shoes In Celebration Of Dads And Fatherhood

In Big Shoes, Al Roker and thirty-seven other well-known personalities reveal how their fathers have been there for them during times of both adversity and triumph, and the countless large and small ways in which they've shaped their lives throughout the years. Bradley Whitford writes movingly of his father, a member of "The Greatest Generation"; while Katie Couric describes how her dad's support made her feel that she could accomplish anything she wanted to. Bonnie Raitt speaks of sharing the stage with her musician father; and Kris Kristofferson recalls how his dad's work ethic spurred him on to succeed. Amy Alcott talks about how her dad supported her interest in golf at an early age; while Al Roker's moving essay is a wonderful tribute to his own father. These essays remind us of the important-and lasting-legacy of our fathers, even as we've grown up and gone on to start families of our own.Roker, Al is the author of 'Big Shoes In Celebration Of Dads And Fatherhood' with ISBN 9781401301712 and ISBN 1401301711.
