Growing up, Kate Fagan and her father forged their relationship on
the basketball court. They were an inseparable pair, two kindred
spirits bonded together by sweaty high fives, and an unflappable
dedication to the New York Knicks. But as Kate grew older and life
added complications to both her love of sport and her role as a
daughter, they drifted apart -relying on a yearly pair of matching
sneakers to remind each other of their connection. When
Christopher, Kate's 6'5" athletic father, was diagnosed with ALS
they embarked on a new, entirely uncharted chapter of their
relationship. Kate took on the role of full-time caregiver,
watching over her father like he had done for her, until his
eventual assisted death. And yet while enduring the painful
experience of witnessing her idol's rapid deterioration, Kate
reconnected with her father to find an even deeper, more meaningful
relationship. At its heart, this is a love story between Kate and
her dad, the lessons learned, and, ultimately, how his debilitating
disease made her reconsider their powerful relationship, along with
her own life choices. A perfect meeting of TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE and
RUNNING HOME, UNTITLED MEMOIR is written for the women who found
their dad on the court, track, pitch, or field. It is an ode to the
unbreakable bond between father and daughter and the invaluable
understanding they share.
