Fatherhood: Now a Major Motion Picture on Netflix
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Paperback
Overview:
Fatherhood: Now a Major Motion Picture on Netflix is a candid, emotionally charged memoir that follows Matt Logelin as he journeys from newly married life in Los Angeles to single fatherhood in the wake of unimaginable loss. Just twenty-seven hours after their daughter Madeline arrived, Liz Logelin suffered a pulmonary embolism and died, leaving a family to navigate a world suddenly without her. In steady, human prose, Matt recounts the day Liz passed away, the fiercely practical days that followed, and the quiet moments when a newborn demands everything you have left. This paperback edition invites readers into a room filled with late-night feeds, first smiles, and the stubborn, daily work of healing. It is a story about love enduring beyond absence, about building a hopeful life when the future seems unchangeably altered. While the book is deeply personal, its themes—parenthood, memory, resilience, and the bonds that hold a family together—speak to anyone who has faced sudden change. The Netflix connection has brought Maddie’s story to a broader audience, inviting more readers to witness a father’s courageous, hopeful journey.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
Unlike many memoirs, this book offers an intimate, no-frills portrait of early fatherhood under extraordinary circumstances. Matt’s voice is warm, plainspoken, and unafraid to admit fear, doubt, and joy in equal measure. He shares the small, often unglamorous details—the midnight bottle feeds, the logistics of caring for a newborn, the way a single decision can ripple through a household. Yet the telling is never voyeuristic; it’s anchored in love, responsibility, and the stubborn determination to protect his daughter. Readers feel the gravity of Liz’s absence while watching Maddie grow into a living reminder of their shared love. The narrative’s honesty makes it relatable for first-time parents seeking practical insight and reassurance, and for readers who have endured loss and are searching for light in hardship. The Netflix adaptation amplifies the emotional resonance, inviting a broader audience to connect with a father’s courage, humor, and enduring gratitude.
Who This Book Is Perfect For:
Ideal for new and expectant parents seeking a grounded, unvarnished portrayal of what parenthood looks like after loss. Fans of memoirs that balance heartbreak with hope will find a secure anchor in Matt’s voice. It also speaks to anyone who has faced sudden life change and found the strength to keep going. Gift buyers will appreciate a moving, authentic story that can spark conversation in book clubs, parenting groups, and classrooms. Those who enjoyed the Netflix film adaptation will appreciate a printed, portable version of the same story, perfect for personal reflection or sharing Maddie’s journey with friends and family.

- Honest, intimate storytelling with warmth and humor
- Paperback edition ideal for gifting and reading on the move

About the Author:
Matt Logelin shares the deeply personal account of becoming a father after the sudden loss of his wife, Liz, and the day-to-day experience of raising Madeline. Known for his clear, unguarded storytelling, Matt writes with humility and candor, guiding readers through grief, joy, and the enduring power of love. His narrative voice invites empathy and understanding, turning a private family story into a universal meditation on resilience, parenting, and hope for families everywhere. The Netflix film adaptation of this true story has amplified its reach, helping more readers discover Maddie’s journey and the family’s values: perseverance, tenderness, and the belief that love can outlast loss.
Why You’ll Love This Book:
This book matters because it offers a rare, human perspective on love and loss that remains hopeful. It doesn’t shy away from painful moments, but it also celebrates the small, everyday miracles of parenting and the joy that Maddie brought into their lives. It’s a compelling gift for new parents, book clubs, and anyone who believes in resilience. Owning the paperback means you can dog-ear passages, share with friends, or read aloud in family gatherings, keeping Liz’s memory close while embracing the future. If you’ve watched the Netflix movie, this edition gives you the original voice behind the screen, a chance to revisit Matt’s raw honesty and Maddie’s developing story.
