We live in an era where strong relationships between parents and children are more essential than ever, where too many Dads fail to build great relationships with their kids. Our society has seen epidemics of loneliness, cultural divisions, and the proverbial strains of time and distance pull families apart. Still, the love of a parent should know no bounds. As John Turner details through dozens of anecdotes in Daddy Days, the recipe for creating a healthy parent-child bond is not particularly complicated.
Turner, a New Hampshire-based engineer, Christmas tree farmer, and indefatigable adventurer, offers his family's story about how one-on-one time shared between father and child--a concept he calls "Daddy Days"--has the power to transform family dynamics. He also shares similar strategies to help maintain a marriage through what he calls "Tarzan Days." Together with friend and journalist Jay Bouchard, whose bylines include Outside and TIME among many other publications, Turner presents a blueprint for building lasting memories and strengthening the ties that hold families together. Throughout these pages Turner hikes many miles, enjoys playing with his children, sails coastal water, and hatches schemes he never imagined possible as he and his loved ones teach each other lessons they might never have learned on their own.
