    What makes parents happiest, according to influential new research, is good relationships with their adult children. This audiobook is one of the first to offer much-needed guidance on developing a strong and enduring bond with children in the decades after they’ve left home. It’s a crucial slice of family life which hopefully lasts much longer than the twenty or so years it takes to raise a child. Yet surprisingly it’s rarely discussed.

    Before his success in public relations, his loving marriage and his storied writing career, Wade Rouse was simply Ted Rouse's son. A queer kid in a conservative Ozarks community, Wade struggled at a young age to garner his father's approval and find his voice. For his part, Ted was a hard-lined engineer, offering little emotional support or encouragement. But Wade and Ted had one thing in common: an undying love of the St. Louis Cardinals.
