520    "The acclaimed author of America's Obsessives provides a 
       look into American history and the fathering styles of 
       U.S. presidents,"--NoveList. 
520    Of the 43 men who have served in the nation's highest 
       office, 38 have fathered biological children and the other
       five adopted children. Each president's parenting style 
       reveals much about his beliefs as well as his 
       psychological make-up. Kendall shows presidential 
       character in action, and shows how the fathering 
       experiences of our presidents have forever changed the 
       course of American history.
