Combining the poignancy of Tuesdays with Morrie with the candid humor of David Sedaris, Colin McEnroe delivers a universally appealing story of male identity and mortality.

Starting with the death of his father and chronicling backwards, Colin McEnroe examines their relationship in order to understand his dad, not just as a father, but as a man. Now a father himself, McEnroe articulates, in a voice both sensitive and startling, the experiences of "the sandwich generation," Baby Boomers facing the dual task of caring for their own children and their aging parents. Moving without being maudlin, MY FATHER'S FOOTPRINTS reveals the profound lessons behind one of today's most challenging issues: losing a parent while being a parent.

From Michael Jackson's love children to men named Brad, Lose Weight Through Great Sex with Celebrities is Hartford Courant columnist Colin McEnroe's latest testimony to the fact that life is more than ham and pineapple pizza; it is and can be funny.
