Steve Nye’s quiet life takes an unexpected turn when he receives a call from his mother. His father attacked her and has been committed to an asylum. The doctor says he’s suffering from dementia. But Steve’s father seems so calm, clear-eyed, and lucid when he whispers, “I killed her”. Is it simply symptom of his father’s delusion and madness?

If only Steve were so lucky…



"It's always rewarding when a masterful writer digs deeply into a tough subject and comes closer to the truth than anyone else. Tom Callahan not only does this in His Father's Son, he entertains along the way."
-Dan Jenkins, author of Dead Solid Perfect and Fairways and Greens

Praise for Tom Callahan:

"Tom Callahan does to words what Tiger Woods does to golf balls. Under his spell, they soar, spin, and do the samba on the head of a matchstick. There's nobody better."
-Rick Reilly, ESPN

"Tom knows the game of golf as well as anyone in the business."
-Jack Nicklaus

"Callahan could make a book about agricultural reform in mid-Wales in the 13th century sing and dance."
-John Hopkins, The Times of London

"When I was just starting out, before I played in either a Masters or a U.S. Open, I played with Tom Callahan in Pretoria. So, we go back a ways, twenty years. To me, he's the Jack Nicklaus of the golf writers."
-Ernie Els

"Tom Callahan writing about anything is like Julia Child saying, 'If you don't have any plans, stick around and I'll make you dinner.'"
-Tony Kornheiser, ESPN's Pardon The Interruption
