"A uniquely forthright and powerful addition to the literature of fatherhood.” (Kirkus)
The novelist Charles Bock was a reluctant parent, tagging along for the ride of fatherhood, obsessed primarily with his dream of a writing career.
But when his daughter Lily was six months old, his wife, Diana, was diagnosed with a complex form of leukemia. Two and half years later, when all treatments and therapies had been exhausted, Bock found himself a widower—devastated, drowning in medical bills, and saddled with a daunting responsibility. He had to nurture Lily, and, somehow, maybe even heal himself.
I Will Do Better is Charles’s pull-no-punches account of what happened next. Playdates, music classes, temper tantrums, oh-so-cool babysitters, first days at school, family reunions, single-parent dating, and a citywide crippling natural disaster—were minefields especially treacherous for Charles and Lily because of their preexisting vulnerability: their grief.
Charles sought help from friends, family, and therapists, but this overgrown, middle-aged boy-man and his plucky child became, foremost, a duo—they found their way together.
This frank and tender memoir of parenting his infant daughter in the wake of of his wife's untimely death is "bracingly honest [and] tender," commented Publshers Weekly. "Single parents will find much to identify with in this warts-and-all account.”

High Quality and Smells Great!
This is so far superior to the standard soaps that you buy off the shelf in a supermarket. It creates a truly luxurious lather and smells fantastic without being obnoxious or perfume.

Best vanilla body wash I've seen
Proper vanilla scent with a kick, without the vomit inducing synthetic aftertaste

Soap bar
Style: Vintage Suede, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
A solid exfoliating bar that gives you a deep clean without being too harsh. The grit is just enough to remove dead skin and smooth things out, while the Vintage Suede scent adds a warm, slightly masculine fragrance that feels elevated but not overpowering. It lathers well and leaves your skin feeling clean—not stripped.
✔ Gentle exfoliation (not too rough)
✔ Warm, clean scent
✔ Good lather + smooth finish
❗ Can feel slightly drying on very sensitive skin
❗ Scent doesn’t last super long
👉 Bottom line: A great everyday exfoliating soap perfect if you want smoother skin and a clean, subtle scent without anything too harsh.

Another great product from Cremo!
Style: Vintage Suede, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I find myself buying from this brand frequently. It started with the body wash, then a shaving razor and now this product. Everything i buy from Cremo is absolutely miles ahead of national brands.
When I saw this ant it was available in Vintage Suede scent, I had to buy it. Again, I was blown away by the quality of this product. It provides a rich, luxurious lather that cleans all of your troubles away. It's smooth and feels good. This has changed my morning shower into Shower 2.0.
I also love that this is a minority owned business. I know that when I buy from them, the money goes to support real people, not some corporate fat-cat.
Anyway, every Cremo product I have tried so far has been nothing short of amazing, and this is no exception. I will continue looking for more of their products I dont know about and trying those as well.
Thanks Cremo! You knocked it off of the reservation again with this product!

Scrubby
Style: Italian Bergamot, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I love that the pieces in it feel almost like it's exfoliating. It lathers well, and my skin feels clean after. The smell doesn't cling or feel cheap, it's a well rounded shuttle fragrance. Although my skin loves it, my daughter says her skin gets aittle dried out but she puts lotion in and it's fine. I have been buying this for months now, and encourage you to give this a try. Would also make a great addition to a gift basket.
