Short Review: This is a memoir of Nathan Foster discovering a relationship with his father Richard (the well known author). I enjoyed this in part because I have hiked some of what is described here. I also have read most of what Richard Foster has written, most of it multiple times. Nathan had a difficult time growing up. And he resists either blaming his Dad for his problems or ignoring the fact that his Dad was gone much of the time. It is not really about the bad, it is about the reconciliation. It is a fairly short read and on sale on kindle when I picked it up, so I read it in a day and enjoyed it. Not an earth shattering book, but a good one to remind us that parents are real people and relationships require work.
