Nakon nekoliko pročitanih stranica, pomislio sam: "Bože! Da sam ovo čitao prije četrdesetak godina, kada se rodio moj sin!" Ova knjiga je dragocjeni poklon mladim očevima koji, unatoč podršci žena, osjećaju usamljenost. Izreka "Za igru je potrebno dvoje" naglašava važnost uloge žene u životu muškarca koji želi postati drugačiji otac. Paulova supruga ostavila mu je prostor da bude otac kakav želi, dok majčinstvo nije jedini identitet. Njihovo zajedničko iskustvo pokazuje da roditeljstvo nema granica i ne zahtijeva posesivnost ili stroge granice. Većina moje generacije bila je emocionalno nepismena, a Paul O’Grady dolazi iz kulture u kojoj muškarci otvoreno govore o javnim pitanjima, ali ne i o sebi. Ova knjiga nudi muškarcima priliku da otkriju bogatstvo komunikacije u sebi, dok ženama pomaže da bolje razumiju svoje partnere. Paul O’Grady, izvršni poslovni coach i arhitekt, rođen je u Dublinu 1975. godine, a nakon putovanja i rada u Americi i Australiji, preselio se u Hrvatsku. Osnovao je humanitarnu udrugu za djecu s posebnim potrebama i otvorio školu irskog plesa. Iskustvo očinstva inspiriralo ga je da napiše ovu knjigu.
