TACOMA, Wash., June 15, 2023 /Christian Newswire/ -- Angela Connelly, with co-authors Manola Secaira and Megan McDaniel, is thrilled to announce the release of her highly anticipated book, The Crowded Table 2: The Fatherhood Adventure. This book will captivate readers with heartfelt stories and valuable insights from 56 different fathers, encouraging and honoring fatherhood.

This engaging and visually impactful book follows the 2022 release of Connelly's first book, The Crowded Table: The Brave and Beautiful Choice to Mother Many, an anthology of stories and wisdom from 52 mothers from around the world. In this sequel, worldwide contributors share their narratives, providing an intimate glimpse into the intricate tapestry of fatherhood.

With authenticity and vulnerability, these fathers candidly share inspiring and poignant stories of joy, love, and loss while celebrating the unique bonds between fathers and their children. Most importantly, the book sheds light on some important truths: fathers are crucial, and they are not alone in their journey.

When asked about the inspiration behind The Crowded Table 2: The Fatherhood Adventure, Angela Connelly stated, "Our culture does not necessarily respect the importance of the gift that men who embrace fatherhood bring to the table. In fact, our children, our families, our society, and our world are experiencing a 'fatherlessness crisis.' We wanted to create a book that serves as a reminder that dads and grandfathers are not alone in their experiences. By sharing their stories, we hope to inspire and encourage them—and our culture—to embrace the adventure and importance of fatherhood."

The Crowded Table 2: The Fatherhood Adventure is available now on Amazon and other major booksellers. A book launch party is scheduled for Sunday, July 9th,2-4 p.m. at McDuffs Café in Tacoma, Wash.: 1400 N Highlands Pkwy; the public is welcome. All proceeds from the book will benefit charities supporting fathers, families, and children. For more information, visit: www.angelaconnelly.com.
