They say a father is a little girl’s first hero and the standard by which she measures every other man. But what happens when your hero is a grifter and a schemer who treats you more like an accomplice than a princess? And when your hero is a lawless pill-popping prankster who cheats death and hoards guns and chugs vodka by the gallon and howls at every full moon, what happens then?

In this darkly comic memoir, Meg McCarville grapples with her “daddy issues” while celebrating the life and legend of the man who taught her everything worth knowing.

Meg McCarville writes hilarious sentences that often double as sharp gut punches. And when she isn’t punching you, her memoir affects the delightful pain that comes from relieving discomfort—like prodding a mouth ulcer or picking a scab. Daddy Stories is a fabulous scab that I picked at until it was gone.—Anita Dalton, author of TL;DR: The Best of Odd Things Considered
