Jacob, an adult son, has had more
downs than ups throughout his life. With a failed marriage, the loss of a home,
an unreliable career, and a dementia-stricken Dad, he mulls over his choices,
morals, and beliefs while searching for his father through cross-country treks.
Jacob’s self-sabotaging traits, lack of self-confidence, and the absence of a
purpose in life have made things more complicated. Will Jacob be able to cope
with the harsh realities of life? Heartbroken and betrayed, he rediscovers
himself by exploring his relationships and beliefs. The detour becomes an aid
while he tries to change his perspective to grow and become a better man.
Dad by Bob Seay is
written in an almost autobiographical way, making it easier for readers to
connect with Jacob on a deeper level. While there are several chuckle-worthy
instances, most of them convey strong emotions and a deep understanding of the
human nature and psyche. Winner of the 2021 Indiereader Discovery Award, this
book features a modern and witty tone that makes for a well-balanced read. “I'll let you decide which parts are
biography and which are completely made up for the book.” Bob Seay has
taken his personal experiences to craft a story that will resonate with most readers
for the years to come.
Unlike other fiction writers, Dad by Bob Seay doesn’t shy away from discussing
mental, emotional, and spiritual difficulties in great detail. This book leaves
a bittersweet taste with the protagonist’s struggles and his desire to
reconnect with his father. Many have anticipated this book to remain evergreen,
and I couldn’t agree more. The book also received a Runner-Up award in the
Literary-Humor category for the 2021 Maxy Awards and became a noteworthy
finalist in the 2021 National Indie Excellence Awards. The dazzling prose and
the intelligent exploration of character transform the story into a
page-turner.
