Sam Keen - Prodigal Father, Wayward Son

Written by best selling author Sam Keen and his son Gifford, Prodigal Father, Wayward Son is a warm and engaging book on masculinity, and a compelling and dynamic invitation for readers to recall the pivotal memories and conflicts that define their own father-and-son relationships. Filled with personal tales of their own struggles and breakthroughs, in this moving account of alienation, repentance, and forgiveness, readers are taught how best to confront and make peace with longstanding enmity and misunderstanding by telling their long-held, but often unexamined, myths and stories. Similar to the father-central memoirs of Pat Conroy and Andre Dubus III, Sam and Gif Keen provide guidance and encouragement to those looking for positive role models, and explores new ways to move beyond old wounds.

Sam Keen was educated at Harvard and Princeton and was a professor of philosophy and religion. He was a contributing editor of Psychology Today for 20 years and is the author of the bestselling Fire in the Belly and a dozen other books. He co-produced an award-winning PBS documentary, Faces of the Enemy.
