An easy read that provides a good starting point

I enjoyed reading this book. It is an easy read and is packed with useful information, though of course not everything will be applicable to every person's situation. Still, it provides a good framework for how a father might go through the process of rebuilding relations with kids he has left behind. I bought it with the idea of sending it to my "prodigal" father, who lives in another state and who I haven't seen in many years, to maybe encourage him to learn something. If I were a father who had left his family and wanted to try to reunite with my kids, I think this book would be a good starting point. It is primarily aimed at fathers with adolescent kids, though it does have information for fathers with older and younger kids, too. Even adult kids. It doesn't have all the answers, but it has many. It is especially good about warning prodigal fathers to fix their own lives and to be reliable and trustworthy for a change, which I think are the most important things that prodigal fathers must do if they expect their kids to want them back. It also does a good job of teaching prodigal fathers how to get rid of their own emotional baggage *before* trying to initiate contact. I think some prodigal fathers expect they can just waltz back into their kids' lives whenever they feel like it, and it just doesn't work that way. Too bad it's out of print -- I don't know how it compares to other books on this same topic, but it's worth looking for.
