Nonfiction. Parenting. Philosophy. Inspiration. Spirituality. If
parenthood were a function of biology, adoptive parents, for
instance, ought not to be considered parents--which is absurd.
Thus, it follows that biology cannot be an essential component of
parenthood. Concomitantly, if parenthood were merely a function of
law, all those who have parented children without being their legal
parents would be stripped of their de facto parenthood.... If,
then, parenthood is neither a function of biology nor simply
law--what is it? What does being a parent truly mean? Rooted in the
author's own experience as a father of three, THE WISDOM OF
PARENTHOOD is an insightful, original, and provocative
philosophical meditation on the meaning, experience, and practice
of parenthood."An insightful, intelligent exploration of
parenthood--no matter where and how your children came to be in
your life--THE WISDOM OF PARENTHOOD is a book one can read over and
over again. There is so much to absorb that it is one to keep going
back to. It is a manual for parenthood--truly a philosophy of
parenting to live by."--Carol Ciancutti"A powerful argument for an
understanding of parenthood based on the daily actions, the real
practice of parenting as opposed to our children's origins.
Speaking from experience, Michael Eskin takes the reader on a
wonderfully substantiated path to a conclusion that will be
reassuring to anyone considering adoption, or anyone who has ever
parented."--Jill Larson..".beautifully articulated, profoundly
moving, enlightening and inspiring ...THE WISDOM OF PARENTHOOD has
already shifted my perspective, in some ways renewed it, but
definitely also imbued me with some new ways of thinking and
understanding and taking pride in my role as a mother and
stepmother..."--Donna Murphy"Finally we have a real thinker who
dispels the 'blood is thicker than water' myth in persuasively
showing that, in fact, the wisdom and commitment of deliberate
love--not DNA--are thicker, richer, deeper...Michael Eskin offers
an enlightened understanding of true parenthood 'beyond necessity,
' which is as essential to the survival of the soul as water is to
the body."--Louie B. Free
