Lessons from My Father is a series of interviews and stories collected and written by Steve Anderson. 

Anderson has been a high school teacher for 34 years, 26 of them at two schools in East London and the past eight at a school in Cape Town where he heads up the Wellness and Development Department and teaches English and Life Orientation.

 About the series, he says: “[It] is not about holding up those who are featured as being ‘The Perfect Father’. 

It is simply a collection of stories, each told by a son or daughter whose life was, or whose life has been in some way, positively impacted by their father… 

And it doesn’t take away the significant part played by mothering figures in the shaping of their children.

 Theirs are the stories of another series!”
