Filled with joy and tenderness, Daughters' Day by national
bestselling author, essayist, and humorist Graham Porter shares the
message that parenting is the most rewarding experience anyone will
ever have. While it's not, perhaps, all fun and games, with
affection and playfulness, each day of being a parent is an
opportunity to celebrate childhood moments-big and small-that in
the grand scheme of life, are the things we remember most. A lively
work of creative non-fiction, Porter's take on parenting is that
the key to raising a happy family is to focus on the positive and
to always find reasons to laugh and smile. For a father of four,
and a grandfather of eight-with each of whom he enjoys a close
relationship-he's had quite a bit of fodder. In twenty-two
heartwarming vignettes, with titles like "The Adventure Begins,"
"Home Sweet Home," "The Loving Cup," and "Cottage, Farewell,"
Porter pays homage to the particular delights of fatherhood, as
well as his parenting philosophy that there are teachable moments
in every experience. It's been his honor to rescue his daughters
from school dances, discuss with them the meaning of God, and care
for them as babies. There were watermelon seed-spitting contests,
plenty of camaraderie, laughs, giggles, funny evening rituals, and
the family's first vacation. Memory upon memory, joy upon joy,
Porter builds a repertoire of pink birth announcements, family egg
tosses, and games of football. He describes what it means to enjoy
every moment. Parenting is a journey, and sweet, tender, and
uplifting moments abound.
