Description: On an autumn night in 1969, John McKee had a heart attack-an event that would end his life, and change his son Steve's forever. Chronicling the disorienting first days following John McKee's death, My Father's Heart is an extraordinary story of an all-too-ordinary scenario: a father dies, a son remains, and the loss casts a long shadow across a generation. Rich in evocative detail of time, place, and family, it is a powerful memoir of love, forgiveness,and finding oneself.
