Written from the Porch. Not the Mountaintop.

Shaun Hern is a later-in-life single dad to two neurodivergent kids, a faith-based memoirist, and the voice behind the GrandpaDad brand. He writes from the place most people are actually living, where faith is real but not always tidy.

"This isn't written from the mountaintop. It's written from the porch: from the middle of life, where faith is real but not always tidy."

Real Words from Real People

Three words from a reader who needed the book matter more than a hundred words from Shaun about the book.

“

This book made me feel seen in a way I didn't expect. Shaun writes like he knows exactly what your Tuesday at 2am looks like, because he's been there. Required reading for any parent who has ever felt overwhelmed and still faithful.

Every parent who has ever felt overwhelmed and under-qualified needs to read this. Honest, funny, and genuinely hopeful. Shaun doesn't pretend faith makes it easy; he shows how faith makes it possible.

I laughed out loud, then cried two pages later. That's a rare gift in a book. Shaun writes about parenting the way it actually is, not the way we wish it was. I've already bought copies for three people.
