Read by Tim O'Brien.

"Best-selling author Tim O'Brien shares wisdom from a life in letters, lessons learned in wartime, and the challenges, humor, and rewards of raising two sons. 'We are all writing our maybe books full of maybe tomorrows, and each maybe tomorrow brings another maybe tomorrow, and then another, until the last line of the last page receives its period'. In 2003, already an older father, National Book Award-winning novelist Tim O'Brien resolved to give his younger sons what he wished his own father had given to him -- a few scraps of paper of paper signed 'Love, Dad.' Maybe a word of advice. Maybe a sentence or two about some long-ago Christmas Eve. Maybe some scattered glimpses of their rapidly aging father, a man they might never really know. For the next fifteen years, the author talked to his sons on paper, as if they were adults, imagining what they might want to hear from a father who was no longer among the living. O'Brien traverses the great variety of human experience and emotion, moving from soccer games to risqué lullabies, from alcoholism to magic shows to history lessons to bittersweet bedtime stories, but always returning to a father's soul-saving love for his sons. The result is 'Dad's Maybe Book', a funny, tender, wise and enduring literary achievement what will squeeze the reader's heart with joy and recognition"--,Provided by publisher.
