Publisher's Synopsis
I'm new to marriage and the first Bush is president.
Pretty soon there's a child: my son. Then there's infertility and I'm supposed to be learning about God's timing. After five years of this, there are two more boys at the same time. People ask us if twins run in our family, and we say they do now. Then there's a fourth: a girl. Right before she's born, my best childhood friend dies when planes fly into the Twin Towers. I write a lot about all of this. These are my stories. "Jeff Jacobson is the greatest contemporary American author you've never heard of, but it's time that changed." In this profoundly insightful collection, Jeff Jacobson presents a compelling portrait of marriage, parenthood, friendship, and faith. At turns hilarious and excruciating, Jacobson's stories illustrate our shared human experiences of love and loss and offer fresh insights into the twin dance of pain and grace. The author writes from the heart, gut, and spirit as he mines the everyday to discover life's essential truths. "I Have (had) Enough" is better titled "I Have Enough" - enough love for everyone, enough courage to withstand the slings and arrows of outrageous fatherhood, and more blessings than a man deserves.Honest and filled with joy, I Have (had) Enough is a master-class in love, devotion, and embracing grace wherever you find it. "If Anne Lamotte and David Sedaris had a child, then put him up for adoption in the suburban Midwest, that child would grow up to be Jeff Jacobson."
