This powerful memoir from a #1 New York Times bestselling author
and Newbery Medalist features poetry, letters, recipes, and other
personal artifacts that provide an intimate look into his life and
the loved ones he shares it with. In a powerfully intimate and
non-traditional (or "new-fashioned") memoir, Kwame Alexander shares
snapshots of a man learning how to love. He takes us through
stories of his parents: from being awkward newlyweds in the sticky
Chicago summer of 1967, to the sometimes-confusing ways they showed
their love to each other, and for him. He explores his own
relationships-his difficulties as a newly wedded, 22-year-old
father, and the precariousness of his early marriage working in a
jazz club with his second wife. Alexander attempts to deal with the
unravelling of his marriage and the grief of his mother's recent
passing while sharing the solace he found in learning how to
perfect her famous fried chicken dish. With an open heart,
Alexander weaves together memories of his past to try and
understand his greatest love: his daughters. Full of heartfelt
reminisces, family recipes, love poems, and personal letters, Why
Fathers Cry at Night inspires bravery and vulnerability in every
reader who has experienced the reckless passion, heartbreak,
failure, and joy that define the whirlwind woes and wonders of
love.
