On an autumn night in 1969, John McKee had a heart attack—an event that would end his life, and change his son Steve’s forever. With heart disease being the number one cause of death among Americans, My Father’s Heart is an extraordinary story of an all-too-ordinary scenario: A father dies, a son remains, and the loss casts a long shadow across a generation. Chronicling the disorienting first days following John McKee’s death, this powerful memoir of love, forgiveness, and finding oneself is rich in evocative details of time, place, and family.
