About this listen

This inspiring true story of a single dad's long journey home pokes gentle (and not so gentle) fun at our frail human efforts to gain from our losses, and begin again. A returning son makes three promises to his ailing mother to be a good man after his wife attempts to replace him over Christmas. When the divorce - and a legal maneuver to separate him from his children - is filed on the day his mother dies, he is unprepared to defend himself against the male stereotypes he must fight to remain an equal parent. Too late to save his marriage, he confronts a different kind of divorce from something he has held onto much longer than his wife; his own father's expectations. Only his three small children can teach him again what he has ceased believing about himself, about keeping his promises, and about being their only dad. This revealing and emotion-packed story is about every flawed parent's daily quest for imperfect redemption told from inside one man's skin as he attempts the impossible - to become a good enough dad by going home.
