Accidental Dad

"Joshua McDowell is a single father on a mission. He believes being a parent is the most rewarding experience in the world. For that reason, he wants you to help him change the family court system. Each year, millions of children grow up in fatherless homes, resulting in teen pregnancies, school dropouts, depression and suicides. In Accidental Dad, McDowell talks frankly about his own fatherless childhood. Each child wants, needs and deserves to grow up with a strong relationship with both parents, but those parents have to be there for the right reasons. McDowell is not an expert in conventional terms, with qualifying degrees to counsel others, but he knows how it felt to grow up without his father and he also knows how it feels for a single father to have to deal with the court system that can make a father feel worthless."--Page 4 of cover.
