Growing up without his father being involved in his life, Patrick A. Davy is motivated to write his book, "The Right to Belong." Pete is a successful salesman living in New York City with his wife and two sons. He tells his sons that they are lucky to have their father and to know him. This initiates Pete's search to find his father and get to know him. Pete finds out that his family is guarded and there are many people and things he does not know. Pete's cousin Nigel reports that his father is widowed, has two other children and is in poor health, but he obviously does not really want contact with Pete. Pete finally is able to track down contact information and meets his father as well as his siblings, but the reunion that occurs is not what Pete had hoped for.

This is a very honest book, that reveals Pete's heart, emotions, frustrations and hurt about growing up without his father. This really highlights the role fathers play in their children's lives and the fact that children need to feel as if they belong and are wanted by their parents. Having been fully aware of conflict among family members over what is rightfully theirs in many families, readers will empathize and perhaps relate to Pete's struggles. Overall, it is a touching story that would be therapeutic for readers who grew up in a similar family situation.
