Being Dad

"There was a genuine bond between these kids and myself. More and more, I was being put in the role of father in their lives. I don’t believe this was a conscious decision on anyone’s part, it was just a thing that was happening." So says author, Doug Heilman, in this moving and uplifting memoir of how he became "Dad" to a group of boys and young men who were nearly lost to the dangerous streets and harrowing circumstances of Brooklyn in the 1970s.
