About The Dad Connection:
Scott Hanley’s journey as a single parent raising two boys is a wellspring of experience, advice and know-how. Using his own deeply personal notes on the process of raising his children, recorded as their lives unfolded, he determined that love and respect would be the simple base upon which he would build relationships.
The Dad Connection: A Bridge to Your Children is Scott’s understanding of the love, respect, patience, energy, care, perspective, service and trust needed to build strong and deeply loving parent-child relationships. It is a life-altering lens through which to see, understand and love the relationship you have been blessed to receive.

Hi Scott, I would be interested in reading a review copy of your book for recommending to the FamilyDads audience.
I will email you shortly! We’re working on the very last, final edits this week and hoping to get the real live thing in our hands the weeks to come.
Hi Scott,
The editor of the Hollywood Star (NE Portland) has asked me to write about your book. Please contact me so that I can get a copy.
Your an inspiration to us dad. You remind me of my father. He raises 6 kids during a rough time. He was and is still blessed. We all grew up valuing life and love…. Best wishes!
