Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 9
Art teacher Daniel Benedetto has cystic fibrosis. At thirty-four, he's already outlived his doctor's "expiration date," but that doesn't stop him from giving all he can to his students and his work. When he takes on Caitlin, his landlady's daughter, as a private student, the budding teen painter watches in torment as other people, especially women, treat Daniel like a freak because of his condition. To Caitlin, Daniel is not a disease, not someone to pity or take care of but someone to care for, a friend, and her first real crush.

Wonderful characters
Revisado: 09-14-24
Drawing Breath is a lovely and poignant coming-of-age story with richly drawn characters. The author captured the brutal challenges of cystic fibrosis so well, as well as the romantic angst of a lovestruck teenager. Really enjoyed it. The narration was wonderful too.

Can an epic adventure succeed without a hero? Andra Watkins needed a wingman to help her become the first living person to walk the historic 444-mile Natchez Trace, as the pioneers did. She planned to walk 15 miles a day for 34 days. After striking out with everyone in her life, she was left with her disinterested 80-year-old father. And his gas. The sleep apnea machine and self-scratching. Sharing a bathroom with a man whose gut obliterated his aim.

Thoroughly enjoyable book
Revisado: 12-27-15
Would you listen to Not Without My Father again? Why?
Yes. Very entertaining during a recent long car drive.
What other book might you compare Not Without My Father to and why?
Wild by Cheryl Strayed, which is another memoir about a woman's journey and her relationship with a parent.
Which scene was your favorite?
There were many, but I laughed when her father kept badgering her to sign books so he could sell them.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The father's chapter on getting older and the health problems it brings.
Any additional comments?
Great book that will make you laugh, think, feel, and relate!
