A delightful read!!! How hard can it be to take on the mantle of "Home Daddy" and raise two high-energy, curious, young daughters in a Pacific island paradise while Mom is frequently away on important Peace Corps work? JJ Martin uses equal parts humor, island lore and culture, a wide array of colorful locals, island activities and hangouts to explore that question and others. On his way to learning the ins and outs, ups and downs, and basically how to keep "his boat afloat" in this expanded 24/7 role JJ learns valuable lessons about fathering, but also about himself and about living life fully while on island time. I highly recommend you read "Feeding the Kids to the Sharks"! Take a "deep dive-read," joining JJ, his wife, daughters, and the island village that helped him learn to be at one with his role as a full-time dad.
