Summary

Until now, fathers have been the last undiscovered country. Even when they're in our midst, drinking coffee in the kitchen, tinkering in the garage, laughing, yelling, making us feel 3 inches high or 10 feet tall, our fathers are often mysterious. Far too often, the old-fashioned virtue of being the strong, silent type builds a wall between us and our fathers. Fathers aren't much for a lot of talk, and in the years before we leave home, few of us can count listening as our strong suit.
