Terry’s dad wrote an autobiography of his life, primarily because he was a quiet man, viewed as strange or a nonconformist by family and friends, and he wanted to set the record straight on who he was, who he is, what he believes, and the journeys he took along the way to cope with problems and live his life. Terry’s dad and she had a fraught relationship, similar to the one he had with Terry’s mother. However, his behavior, as she perceived it, was distant and unloving. Through his writing, he invited his daughter to know him, and she did. However, she felt there was more to the story, and as her eyes were opened to the facets of him, she came to better understand how their relationship influenced her development as a person. His story is delightful, almost Huckleberry Finn in some aspects, and Terry strove to add background and context to the many adventures he had in his life. She 'dialogues' with her dad along the way and fills in the reader on her perspective of him and the family relationship and dynamics. Prepare to be absorbed in a man’s life through the entire twentieth century and enjoy reading about his life as much as Terry did.
