There's a special bond and a unique tensions that exists in most father-son relationships, especially as the boy becomes more indepdent and moves closer to adulthood.

In Dad Was Right, Brian David Floyd revists his adolescence and the life lessons he learned from his father.

In ten short chapters, Floyd conveys these key life lessons through a series of funny and touching stories from his coming-of-age years.

Such lessons include the fact that hard work is a part of life...someday you will need what they're teaching in school...why you must be smart when you have to fight....never being afraid to ask the prettiest girl to dance...and of course the importance of calling your grandmother.

Dad Was Right is a memoir full of the wisdom fathers pass on to their sons, though it's often initially rejected.

Yet ironically, it is these very lessons sons cling to as adults and then seek to pass on to their own children.
