The Fun Master: A Memoir

Minutes before undergoing emergency surgery, newborn Ethan chose his father Jeff as his caregiver. A poor HR decision on the wee lad's part. A self-involved academic struggling to cope with his own neurological problems, Jeff could hardly take care of himself, let alone a child with special needs. Jeff's determination to live life fully, however, proved the perfect complement to Ethan's instinct for fun. Ethan thrived despite additional surgeries, hospitalizations, serious breathing and swallowing problems, hearing loss, and a challenging social environment, all the while teaching Jeff to take things as they came. The arrival from China of adopted baby sister Penelope eight years in took Jeff's on-the-job training to a whole new level. Ethan died in a tragic accident just before his tenth birthday, but not before he, Penelope, and their mother, Janet, taught Jeff that the true path to happiness was putting other people's needs before his own and living in the moment rather than trying to control it.
