A beloved daughter. A devastating choice. And now there's no going back.
Four years ago, nineteen-year-old Travis Brown made a choice: to raise his newborn daughter on his own. While most of his friends were out partying and meeting girls, Travis was at home, changing diapers and worrying about keeping food on the table. But he's never regretted his decision. Bella is the light of his life. The reason behind every move he makes. And so far, she is fed. Cared for. Safe.
But when Travis loses his construction job and his home, the security he's worked so hard to create for Bella begins to crumble....
Then a miracle. A job in Raleigh has the power to turn their fortunes around. It has to. But when Travis arrives in Raleigh, there is no job, only an offer to participate in a onetime criminal act that promises quick money and no repercussions.
With nowhere else to turn, Travis must make another choice for his daughter's sake.
Chamberlain writes such appealing stories with well-described characters. I loved reading this novel and could not put it down once I was into the page by page happenings. ( )
Robin's father sure started out as a good father but he really lost it later. Travis going for the job suggestion made sense but then taking a drug deal did not fit. Why didn't he just tell Ray where the drugs were, tell the cops and leave town. Was enjoying how Erin worked through her fears and even gaining an understanding about her husband eventually. Also interesting on how each parent dealt with loss of a child. Robin finally grew up and I liked how she worked out a solution to all of Trevis's problems with the law. ( )
I got about 80 pages in, and most of it while skimming the pages. I have no idea how this book ended up in my house, but what a dreadful, dull written story. A father who is raising his daughter alone and had to make some hard decisions seemed interesting enough, but up till the point I decided to quit the book all we got was one major flashback and a story told through 3 different people. Something I hate. If you've got a story to tell, tell it! I had zero interest in any of the characters and what happened to them and the writing was just not my style at all. But I noticed the word 'harlequin' at the back of the book, that should have said it all. Blegh. ( )
I absolutely loved this book! The characters were so relateable and it was so hard to put down. I really fell in love with all of them and felt like I knew them. Great job! ( )
4.5 stars. An absolutely breathtaking account that demonstrates a parents’ unconditional love, The Good Father is a novel that should be on everyone’s reading list. To read my review in its entirety, please visit http://www.bookreviewsandmorebykathy.com/2012/04/24/the-good-father/( )

Even if it means he might lose her.
