Synopsis: Far from the conventional parenting book, Know When to Hold 'Em will encourage readers as they see parenting and fatherhood through a new lens--that of adventurer, risk-taker. Blase moves into new territory to invite fathers and parents to look at the risk and challenge--and great rewards of parenting--as he invites readers into his imperfect, yet loveable homeWritten with the raw prose of one who is there, smack dab in the middle of possibly the greatest challenge of a person's life, Blase says, "What I've seen so far has convinced me that being a father is a lot like gambling--fatherhood is a risk-tasking ventureFeaturing an intensely personal voice and filtered through a brass-knuckled optimism, this book offers what very few books on parenting do--the real, true, raw reality and joys of fatherhood.
