Ben Bradlee, editor of the Washington Post during Watergate, has always struck me as a tough guy. Reading this book about his relationship with his son Quinn has dispelled that myth. Quinn has VCFS, a genetic syndrone which impairs mental and physical ability. He's a remarkable young man who has overcome many obstacles with the help of his dad, Ben. In the process of raising his son, Mr. Bradlee has become a softer, more accessible person according to his wife, Sally Quinn. Each of the three, Ben, Quinn, and Quinn's mother, Sally, take turns writing with the bulk of the chapters being written by Ben and Quinn.
