Keeping the Baby Alive till Your Wife Gets Home

The perfect gift for soon-to-be (or even has-been) dads, Keeping the Baby Alive till Your Wife Gets Home is a tongue-in-cheek peek at modern parenting from a father?s point of view. It?s as funny, page-by-page, as the title promises, and all of the laughter is backed by candid advice. The spoof, clearly targeted at today?s career-minded mom-and-dad team, romps merrily from subtle to slapstick.Yet under the surface Keeping the Baby Alive focuses consistently on the complex feelings new fathers encounter but are reluctant to talk about.

The breezy, irreverent humor escorts dads through basic topics such as home-from-the-hospital adjustments, postpartum do?s and dont?s, diaper-changing, feeding, difficult infant behavior, child care choices, the walking/talking stage, father-baby games and more.

Inspired by Mr. Roark?s first-born, Meghan, the original manuscript was set aside for years. Brought to life now for the first time by Clearing Skies Press, the publication of Keeping the Baby Alive has an unusual twist to it. Now a teenager, Meghan, the book?s original inspiration, actually contributes to the work?s humorous illustrations. It?s a story with a happy ending for a very special father-daughter team.  more
