A deeply personal exploration of what it means to be a father when life doesn't go as planned. The moment he learns that his infant daughter is not expected to live, Campbell starts on a journey of love, struggle, and resilience. Through the lens of raising three children-two with disabilities and two who are gifted (one is both)-Campbell delves into the pain and joy of fatherhood. He uncovers what has to be learned, and unlearned, from wisdom of the past. And from his children, he learns ways to adapt as he traverses the arc of fatherhood. With his oldest daughter, he finds magic of rivets under the mighty Golden Gate, the dignity of risk-taking by his disabled daughter alone on a cruise, and the tenacious fearlessness of his hearing-impaired son in a highly competitive private high school.

Campbell's book is for parents seeking solace in shared experiences, for families navigating the complexities of raising children with disabilities, for fathers probing masculinity, and for anyone who believes in the transformative power of love and perseverance. In both print and audiobook. www.holdingupthesky.net.
