I WILL DO BETTER A Father's Memoir of Heartbreak, Parenting, and Love

by | Read by Charles Bock

Biography & Memoir • 7 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2024

Fiction writer Charles Bock turns to memoir as he tells the story of his adored wife's death and the task of raising their 3-year-old daughter, Lily, solo. Bock narrates with such rhythm that you almost visualize the text's line breaks. His delivery illuminates the beauty of his writing and the harsh reality of his struggles with grief, trying to maintain a career despite Lily's meltdowns, and pursuing new love interests--all the while missing the steadying force of his wife. Bock's emotional honesty in this candid narration is moderated with dry humor and irony. For example, he arranges for his wife's cremation and concurrently confirms specifications for his daughter's birthday cake. S.W. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2024]
