| Publisher Description: When his mother is arrested in September 1988, 14-year-old hockey phenom Justin Maloney is left with no choice but to move in with his estranged father. Rick Maloney wants to be a caring, responsible parent to his only child, but he soon loses his way and begins a steady descent into darkness that will force him to confront old demons. Set against the backdrop of the New World Order-the demise of the Soviet Union, the pro-democracy protests at Tiananmen Square and the fall of the Berlin Wall-A Father's Son is a stirring tale of how parent and child can grow far apart, yet remain close through a shared love of Canada's national passion. Infused with the pop culture that would define a generation, A Father's Son also touches on the universal themes of first loves, betrayal and the struggle for identity. A rich tapestry of voices, A Father's Son is a deeply affecting story about how the anti-heroes in our lives can sometimes be our strongest forces for growth. |
