In "Home Game," Michael Lewis turns the lens inward to capture the tumultuous, hilarious, and often poignant journey of fatherhood. With the sharp wit and keen observation that have defined his celebrated career, Lewis chronicles the bewildering moments of parenthood that are universally familiar yet rarely acknowledged. From the chaotic delivery room to the quiet despair of a sleepless night, Lewis navigates the complexities of fatherhood with a blend of humor and honesty that is both deeply personal and remarkably universal. This is not just a memoir of one man's journey; it is a testament to the trials, triumphs, and absurdities that come with raising children. Lewis's narrative transcends the typical fatherhood memoir by offering an unsparing look at the man often left out of parenting narratives: himself. In doing so, he exposes the vulnerabilities and contradictions of being a modern dad who is expected to be fully engaged yet often feels out of his depth. "Home Game" is a brutally honest account of the joys and jolts of parenting, making it a must-read for anyone who has ever struggled to find their footing on the unpredictable playing field of family life. Through Lewis's eyes, we see that the game of home is the most challenging and rewarding one we'll ever play.

[The author takes on] parenting. - Sheryl Sandberg
Memory loss is the key to human reproduction. If you remembered what new parenthood was actually like you wouldn’t go around lying to people about how wonderful it is, and you certainly wouldn’t ever do it twice.
