Product Description
Peter Lovesey, Recipient of the Crime Writers' Association Diamond Dagger Lifetime Achievement Award
"There's something akin to James Thurber about this... It's a funny, uplifting, honest book that I shall read and re-read..."
Dorothy Salisbury Davis, Author, Awarded Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America
"COME HOME. LOVE, DAD is written with the causal sweetness of unpremeditated love, and is therefore the more compelling."

COME HOME, LOVE DAD smiles with love,
By kitty hailey (cherry hill, nj USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Come Home, Love Dad (Paperback)
Not all families are disfunctional. In fact, Shelly Reuben proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt. What a wonderful portrait of a loving father as told through her eyes and through his own letters. Reuben paints a picture in words that creates images of a real father. One who lives in a houseful of love, surrounded by his five children, tolerant and loving wife, friends and crazy relatives. One readily sees why Reuben has selected words as her vocation. Her father created, plagerized, quoted and paraphrased the thought provoking guidence and evocative sentiments with which he communicated to his offspring. Written on stationary, or on the back of landlord-tenant court documents, these jewels of creative writing tell of a romantic soul. He is clearly adored, not for his incredible inventions or tenacity regarding real estate investments, but for his character, strength, concern and consideration. Those of us who can relate have surely had fathers of similar noble quality. Those who cannot fathom the beautiful relationships between father and child have missed an incredible experience. Reach back into childhood, read this and enjoy the experience.

Come Home, Love Dad review,
By reader (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Come Home, Love Dad (Paperback)
If you want to read something that makes you feel good about life, read Shelly Reuben's book, Come Home Love Dad. With so many books flooding the market about serial killers and political espionage it's a pleasure to read something about an actual person that really touches you. Miss Reuben expertly uses narration as well as actual letters written by her father to gradually reveal his personality to the reader. I came to know a man who was an inventor, a landlord, and a salesman, but first and foremost - a father.
