<p>James Schaap has created powerful stories about fathers and their “kids” — big kids, even grown-up ones. Sometimes it’s from the father’s viewpoint, sometimes that of the son or daughter. Always it’s a “reality check,” a yardstick to measure what we know — or don’t know — about our own critical relationships. </p>
<p>These vignettes are life lived out in all its joy and tenderness and grief and hard complexity. Some of it is rather harsh stuff; it’s not prettified to meet a certain standard of purity. Happy endings are not a given. Grace is – in ways we always knew and never knew, in ways that unexpectedly satisfy. We want more – because here we have tasted the real thing. Here is “love that will not let us go.”</p>
