Bad Monk Productions

The Fathers We Find: The Making of a Pleasant, Humble Boy, Paperback/Charles P. Ries

Description Set amidst the farm fields and rolling hills of Southeastern Wisconsin, "The Fathers We Find" is a coming-of-age story that takes place between 1950 and 1971. This novel, based on memory, closely parallels the experiences of its author who grew up on a mink farm just outside of Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Drowning in a sea of nuns, priests, and hard-working church-goers, "Chuck," our narrator, stumbles his way to enlightenment with help from a series of delightful men in a journey that is simultaneously hilarious, poignant, and nostalgic.
