Through personal stories, hard-earned lessons, and moments of triumph, author Jalen Criss pulls back the curtain on what it truly means to be a father in a world that often overlooks a dad's voice. From navigating custody battles and societal biases to embracing the everyday joys of raising children, this book speaks directly to fathers who feel unheard, unsupported, or misunderstood. It's not just a reflection-it's a rallying cry for dads to stand tall, stay present, and keep fighting for their rightful place in their children's lives.
