Dad, Again - by Rob Pilkenton (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Dad, Again is a raw, reflective, nonfiction book about becoming a father again later in life and confronting the unfinished work of the first time around. It explores how unresolved pain, shame, and self-protection quietly shape our decisions as men, husbands, and fathers, often without us realizing it.

Through personal stories of addiction, loss, reconciliation, and grace, this book invites men to stop numbing, stop performing, and start telling the truth about who they are and how they show up.

This is not a how-to manual or a redemption fantasy. It is an honest look at what healing actually requires and what becomes possible when a man chooses vulnerability over avoidance. Readers will gain language for their own stories, permission to feel what they have buried, and courage to engage life and fatherhood with intention, humility, and hope.
