About this ebook
Vincent Staniforth
Vin Staniforth was born in England. While honeymooning in the United States, Vin was called home after his father became very ill. His father died two days after Vin’s return, and Vin came to realize how much he still wanted to learn about—and from—his father. That realization was the inspiration for Questions for My Father. Vin lives with his wife and two sons in Atlanta, Georgia.
