Jim Higley was a typical middle-age dad whose world, overnight, went from the soccer field sidelines cheering on his children to the sidelines of life. At the age of forty-four, Jim became the fourth member of his immediate family to receive a diagnosis of cancer and suddenly found himself with an entire summer removed from all of life\u2019s obligations as he allowed his body to heal after surgery. Thanks to a wise friend\u2019s promise, however, that summer of physical healing transformed into the rediscovery of several forgotten life lessons-and one life-changing gift that had been quietly waiting for him for over thirty years.\xa0\n The single father of three is an insightful storyteller who writes about the experiences found in the nooks and crannies of everyday life from a dad\u2019s perspective.\n Described as \u201cMartha Stewart meets MacGyver,\u201d after a 23-year career in corporate America Jim zipped up his briefcase and became a fulltime stay-at-home dad. Since then-in addition to writing-his world centers around carpools, bake sales, attempting to make school play costumes with a glue gun, and simply being home and available. 24/7. Jim is the inaugural World\u2019s Greatest Dad for Man of the House magazine. His kids, however, are requesting a recount.
