About this item

My Father the Chef. My Father the Cult Leader. My Father the Duke. My Father the Rock Star. These men (Jacques P pin, Saul Newton, John Wayne, and, respectively) are among the famous--and infamous--fathers featured in To Me, He Was Just Dad . . ., a collection of first-person essays written by the children of some of the world's most fascinating men. Though these men may be familiar to the reader, their children offer a unique, intimate view of them at their most unvarnished, through heartfelt reflections, charming anecdotes, and archival photographs. Christopher Reeve's son fondly recalls both the adventure-filled days spent copiloting Cessnas with his Superman father, and the ways in which their relationship deepened after Reeve's devastating accident.
