Roosevelt and Churchill: Men of Secrets Tapa blanda - 2002

de David Stafford

On the South Branch of the Raritan River in New Jersey, Bill Plummer casts his line in the hope that fly-fishing will fortify him in the face of a failed marriage, his father's death, and a faltering career. With the discovery of his father's fly-fishing diary, Bill has set his mind to understanding his father's devotion to the sport and fathoming the depths of what he thought was a distant and enigmatic man. He comes to delight in the peculiar pleasures of the pastime, finding in it points of tangency to his own son, while developing the strength for a second marriage.

Wishing My Father Well is a moving intergenerational memoir which will remind readers of James Prosek's Joe and Me, James Dodson's Faithful Travelers, and Mitch Albom's Tuesdays With Morrie.
