- Summary
- Beloved NBA player, poet, youth advocate, and dad Etan Thomas speaks from his heart on what matters most in his life: being there for his children. He brings together a chorus of voices--athletes and coaches, performers, politicians and leaders of faith--to weigh in on the importance of being a father today. Isaiah Washington, Howard Dean, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Taye Diggs, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Tony Hawk, Al Sharpton, Chuck D, and many more share what they've learned from being a father, having a father, or in some cases not having a father around.--From publisher description.
