"Emerging Son" is an autobiographical memoir about a man's journey to a purposeful midlife from youthful uncertainty. The author's quest to recreate the happiness of his youth takes him from the newsroom to the courtroom as he launches a career, from the Midwest to Rome as he grows in faith, and to South America as he builds a family. Looking to his father as an example, the writer ultimately discovers he has to look within himself for answers to life's questions about faith, family and work.
In addition to appealing to memoir enthusiasts, "Emerging Son" speaks to many groups of people. First, the book will appeal to anyone preparing for marriage, especially marriage in the Catholic Church. Second, it will be of interest to people who have suffered through infertility and are contemplating adoption. And third, "Emerging Son" will be of interest to small business owners who want to read how one entrepreneur grows his company by taking on a business partner and adapting to changing markets. "Emerging Son" is for anyone entering midlife, particularly married men struggling to find home in their role as husband and father.
