My Father, My Father

Bernard Marin, a successful, prosperous, Jewish accountant, was almost fifty when he was suddenly struck down by crippling headaches. The problem, however, was not physical. It was the voice of the past demanding an accounting. Bernard's brooding, silent father was reaching out to him, fourteen years after his death.

Stan Marin had told his son nothing of his life, and had barely seemed to notice his son's existence. When his father died, Bernard had felt only relief. For fourteen years he thought that he was free of his father and his father's past.

This book is the story of what happened next, as Bernard Marin almost fell apart, driven by an overwhelming compulsion to discover what had been kept from him. It is an extraordinary tale of loss, discovery, and redemption.
