Fathering Shadows: Letters To My Seed

shooting from different angles. In response to his own fatherlessness

– and the fatherlessness engulfing nations – the author in his wise

writing has taken it upon himself to be the father he never had. But

more than that, to be a father and a voice of hope in the dungeon of

life.

This book, Fathering Shadows, is a wide net cast out to bring

family peace and unity. While addressing many intricate aspects of

fatherhood, the author skillfully unravels affirmation of sons and

daughters and unleashes wisdom about navigating through life’s

crossroads, the essence of education, conquering battles of the

workplace, and moreover, the understanding of absent fathers.

This is an indirect approach to fatherlessness with a target clearly

marked. And, of course, the author hits it so well. A must read!

“In this book I have shared each and every chapter as an invitation to

get male voices to speak, encourage and affirm. If this book manages

to get one man to be aware of his environment at home and to be fully

present – and to go beyond that to look for opportunities to speak

words of life to the fatherless beyond his yard – I will have succeeded

as an author. It would mean one less shadow and one more father

restored.” Thulani ‘Yeyeye’ Gumede
