Living for dad
Imagine, as a father, knowing that you won’t be there for your young children. That was the situation contemplated by writer Bruce Feiler when he discovered a life-threatening tumor in his leg. He reached out to six men from his life and formed a "Council of Dads" to help look after his daughters. The book that resulted chronicles the lessons he hopes these other men will impart. Larry talks to Feiler about his book and what it says about parenting.
