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.

Over the years, Riutta used words to help express his discovery. "The Myths of Manhood," his personal essay about fatherhood, recently found an audience with National Public Radio (NPR) in its newest book, "This I Believe: On Fatherhood."
