The Council of Dads

My Daughters, My Illness, and the Men Who Could Be Me

The Council of Dads book coverWhen bestselling author Bruce Feiler was diagnosed with a malignant tumor in his leg, he could only imagine all the walks he might not take with his daughters, the ballet recitals he would miss, the art projects left undone, and the aisles he might not walk down. Though his daughters would have plenty of resources in their lives, they wouldn’t have their Dad. He decided to write to six men who had been with him throughout his life- men who could become his voice and his daughters’ Council of Dads. READ MORE

America’s Prophet

Moses and the American Story

America's ProphetIn this groundbreaking book, New York Times bestselling author Bruce Feiler reveals how Moses became America’s true founding father.
