About the Book
Born into the poverty of those with only eyes to see, Max Saarndt finds himself the victim of a second wounding by a similar hand. Bereaved of his soul mate and anchor, his wife Evelyn, Max takes a journey into uncharted waters that would for most be the pattern of normalcy, but for him, is a distant and uncertain place. Forced to confront the loss of his children, Max must find his kindred partner, anew, in a mind only capable of a single focus, for the courage and heart to win the day.
Raising Father connects in one way or another to each of us. As you may remember, a common saying when some of us were children was that mathematician-physicist Albert Einstein had used only about 5% of his brain potential -- or perhaps 10%, depending on who was estimating his vast mind. We were then challenged to think what the rest of us could accomplish if we used much more of our own personal potentials, even if that potential was far less than Dr. Einstein’s. What a thought!
Reviews
"Captures the unadulterated power and grace of the human spirit, embodied in the love of two daughters for their father."
Ted Coburn, CEO, Coburn Capital
"A poignantly thoughtful, and thought-provoking meditation on the familial ties that bind us in ways emotional, intellectual and spiritual. As the father of a late son whose distinctly curious appearance belied extraordinary sensibilities and skills, I instantly connected with Frank J. Rich’s richly limned title character of Max, an artist and father whose love--of life, of wife, and of his greatest creations, two daughters--ultimately conquers all."
Bruce Apar, Editor-in-Chief & Publisher, North County News
"Raising Father will raise awareness of great abilities, even where little have been recognized or expected. Other people will not look the same. "
Paul de Vries, PhD, New York Divinity School
