Are Fathers Needed?

Actress Jennifer Aniston stars in the romantic comedy, "The Switch," a film about a single childless woman, like herself, who chooses to be artificially inseminated and becomes pregnant. She said recently that women don't have to "settle" on a man "just to have that child." Conservative TV host Bill O'Reilly, a married father of two, says Aniston's words send "a message to 12-year-olds and 13-year-olds that 'Hey you don't need a guy. You don't need a Dad.'"

"I loved it." -- Sara Nelson, as books editor of O, The Oprah Magazine 

"When I was 13 or so, the Vietnam War in full flower, reading Graham Greene's The Quiet American let me appreciate fiction in a whole new way. Years later, Danielle Flood's riveting memoir-cum-mystery-story has let me appreciate Greene and his novel -- and the intersections of fiction and nonfiction -- in new ways. Such a story! And so beautifully told." -- Kurt Andersen, novelist, host of the public radio show Studio 360 

"Passionate and unflinchingly honest, this is a fascinating memoir that explores the tangled connections between Graham Greene’s fictional version of wartime Indochina, and the real people there whose actions have haunted the author for most of her life. She is the child of an affair so much like the one described in the love triangle of Greene’s novel that she is perfectly right to make her startling claim, “I am a sequel he never wrote.”----Michael Shelden, author of Graham Greene: The Enemy Within and Indiana State University Professor. 

"Every once in a while a memoir will appear that has the power to stop us dead...This book relates the triumph of the indomitable human spirit in the most trying of life's circumstances..." -- Jo Manning, biographer and novelist

"Extraordinary and spectacular...a story that connect powerfully and poignantly with most of us." -- David Lawrence, Jr., international child advocate and former publisher of The Miami Herald 

"...a work that will outlive us all: compelling, acutely honest and profoundly moving, without being whiny or cruel. That's rare." -- Joe McGinniss, author, The Selling of the President and others.

In the video below, Mitchell Kaplan, founder of Books and Books and the Miami International Book Fair, book seller and movie producer, introduces former Miami Herald publisher Dave Lawrence to the audience of some 100 persons. Lawrence introduces Danielle Flood.
