The Daddy Diaries 2: Stuck in Rush Hour on the Road Less Traveled

The Adventure Continues! Taking up where the first book, The Daddy Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Modern American Dad leaves off, Paul and his sons continue to bond and grow as a family as he navigates the perils of single fatherhood. Starting off with little more than the basics, Paul accumulates more as he works to give himself and his sons a better life. He teaches them what he knows from his days in school and also life lessons in order to give them a foundation for a successful future. He chronicles their adventures in Sedona and the Grand Canyon, as well as smaller day trips closer to home so they can have memories that will last them a lifetime. By turns, he is doctor, therapist, detective and mentor, helping his children over the rough spots as they start to mature and, in teaching them about life, he learns how to be a better parent. As his little family starts to evolve, Paul decides it's time to get back out in the world and start dating. This results in receiving dating advice from his nine year old autistic son that ends in a discussion of the definition of the word "sexy". They learn about the buddy system and realize that they are stronger together than they are separately and that only serves to tighten the bonds of love. Paul tells his stories with an eye toward the humor in all situations and with all the love that his heart contains for his two children.
