Meeting Dad

Poetry March 2009 ISBN 978-0-9844118-3-2 27 pages Softcover, 5½" x 8½"

"Meeting Dad is a suspense story that every father and son should read together. Brian Russell shows how a boy, abandoned by his father, can gradually work his way through longing and regret to understanding and forgiveness." - Neil Chethik, Author of FatherLoss: How Sons Deal With the Deaths of Their Dads

"...With flash, sass, poignancy and the incomprehension that those who are abandoned always retain, Brian Russell tells this story. It is a moving tale, a wicked saga in all ways, since it forces the boys [Brian and his brother] to glimpse what could have been, but was withheld. Meeting Dad recreates a shining hour, a tarnished hour." - Molly Peacock, Author of Paradise, Piece by Piece
