Why read it?
1 author picked Father Found as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
RM is famous for steamy romance, but this book was a shift in a more literary direction.
I love the challenges Zale Rowen faces in his dogged attempts to find deadbeat dads in Chicago. His personal struggle is not so much biracial as it is emotional since his own father left him.
The book is excellently written and is a definite page-turner for those who love suspense and want to discover who they are genetically and emotionally. RM is also a personal friend; his inspiration kick-started my fiction writing journey.
From Faith's list on exploring biracial identity in the 20th century.
