National Public Radio's collected personal essays on a wide variety of topics for years, and this Father's Day, has released a book of just such essays, on fatherhood. One of them is from a U.P. native living in lower Michigan.
Excerpt: Andrew Riutta thought he knew what it meant to be a man. Then his daughter was born. That event challenged him to redefine everything he knew about masculinity.
