A Fatherless Curiosity

by Richard Quisenberry

Genre: Nonfiction, Parenting

Becoming a father is easy, but choosing to be the father a child needs is incredibly difficult. Some are blessed with proper role models, but the reality is many grow up without a father to guide them on the road of life.

A Fatherless Curiosity, stirring and empowering, is unique for two reasons:

*the vision and curiosity of a female provoked the conversation and created this anthology, and

*a group of men agreed to pull back the facade and reveal the heartwarming and gut-wrenching truths they have lived

Twenty-one men from all walks of life courageously share their truths to these questions:

*What does it feel like to have a father?

*How does it feel to be a father?

*How are you doing as a father?

It begins with unmasking the truth of fatherhood and its expectations (spoken and unspoken). It will leave you reflecting on the long-term effects of your childhood with or without your father and its impact on your life’s journey.

A Fatherless Curiosity will leave you with guidance, encouragement, and hope for stronger families, beautiful lives, and prosperous, healthy communities.

Richard Quisenbury (Coach Quis) has achieved and is still in pursuit of every dream he has set his mind to, including graduating from college, becoming a principal, driving across the country, learning many hobbies, traveling out of the country, falling deeply in love, creating a beautiful family, and identifying his life purpose, to name but a few.

With over 40 years of experience in the educational industry, Coach Quis is just as passionate today, as he was on his first day, about developing tomorrow’s personal and professional leaders. As said by Coach Quis, “If you want a different result, you must be willing to first take a different action. With the near epidemic proportions of unhappy employees, the need for personal and professional integration has never been more imminent.”

Note that he didn’t say work/life balance; he believes such a thing is both impossible and undesirable for we spend a disproportionate amount of our time working. Instead, the goal is to integrate all aspects of life so we thrive at our careers & our personal lives equally as well, where we aren’t leaving a part of us behind as we spend our days at work wishing we were somewhere else… anywhere else; or trying to be home with our children while distracted by the things not getting done at work. Instead of balance, it’s the power of presence we seek.
