How far would you go to stay present in your children’s lives? I'M THE DADDY is a gripping novel inspired by true events—a raw and emotional story about fatherhood, family, conflict, and the fight to remain connected when everything begins to fall apart. What starts as a family’s unraveling becomes a journey through fractured relationships, painful choices, court battles, shifting loyalties, and the emotional consequences that follow. Told with honesty, tension, and deeply personal emotion, the novel explores separation, co-parenting, resilience, and the bond between a father and his children.
About the Author
Paul Samuel
Paul Samuel is an author and the founder of Mommydolittle, a platform dedicated to men and fathers. His debut novel, I’M THE DADDY, is inspired by true events and explores fatherhood, family conflict, separation, resilience, and the fight to remain present in a child’s life. Through storytelling, Paul Samuel brings attention to the emotional realities families can face when relationships, parenting, and the legal system collide.
This book matters because fatherhood is often discussed through statistics, court documents, or public arguments instead of the emotional reality experienced inside a family. I'M THE DADDY gives that reality a human voice. It complements Mommydolittle’s broader mission of creating space for men—especially fathers—to be seen, heard, supported, and connected.
Building Connections. Building Families. Building Community.
