My Father's Footprints

Starting with the death of his father and chronicling backwards, Colin McEnroe examines their relationship in order to understand his dad, not just as a father, but as a man. Now a father himself, McEnroe articulates, in a voice both sensitive and startling, the experiences of "the sandwich generation," Baby Boomers facing the dual task of caring for their own children and their aging parents. Moving without being maudlin, My Father's Footprints reveals the profound lessons behind one of today's most challenging issues: losing a parent while being a parent.
