About this audiobook
With honest humor and raw self-revelation, best-selling author Donald Miller tells the story of growing up without a father and openly talks about the issues that befall the fatherless generation.
Raw and candid, Miller moves from self-pity and brokenness to hope and strength, highlighting a path for millions who are floundering in an age without positive male role models.
Speaking to both men and women who grew up without a father — whether that father was physically absent or just emotionally aloof — this story of longing and ultimate hope will be a source of strength.
Single moms and those whose spouses grew up in fatherless homes will find new understanding of those they love as they travel along this literary journey. This is a story of hope and promise. And if you let it, Donald Miller’s journey will be an informal guide to pulling the rotted beams out from our foundations and replacing them with something upon which we can build our lives.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Accepting that it is ok to not have a father is true however I think god has nothing to do with it. There is a certain group of people who should not have kids together however they do.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A must for every man who grew up without a father.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I don't find Father Fiction quite as well-written or as mesmerizing as Miller's other works, but I also don't think I'm quite the target audience for this one. While I appreciate what he has to say and WOULD recommend this one, I'd probably only do so after recommending Blue Like Jazz first.
