A Lion in the Snow Book Signing

Join us and author James M. Chesbro at the Fairfield University Bookstore on Saturday, June 8 from noon to 3 PM. (1499 Post Rd, Fairfield, CT).

When his wife was pregnant, James M. Chesbro started having daydreams of seeing a lion in his street, padding toward his house through the snowflakes of a New England storm. He felt more like a son, still grieving over the early loss of his own father, rather than a prepared expectant-dad. In these essays, Chesbro finds himself disoriented and bewildered by fatherhood again and again as he explores the maddening moments that provide occasions for new understandings about our children and us.​

A Lion in the Snow is a contemporary father’s field guide, a husband’s compendium, and a wife’s glimpse into the turning mind of a spouse in the grounded prose of domestic conflict.
