Like many women in my field, I inherited my love for sports from my dad, and the parallels between our bond and the one Fagan recounts here jumped off the page. But All the Colors Came Out isn't just about fathers and daughters--it's about the ways in which human connection shapes identity, and how those ties can be quietly frayed, and then, in the face of devastating adversity, repaired. It's a story of heartbreak and healing, and one that will sit with me for a long time. --Mina Kimes, Senior Writer at ESPN and co-host of NFL Live Once again, in a story of pain and loss, Kate Fagan manages to find beauty and humanity and write a book that teaches us a great deal about our own lives. --Ryan Holiday, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Daily Stoic and the Daily Stoic podcast This book. I read it straight through, barely moving until the last word on the last page. Here is a deeply affecting story about a father and daughter, human failings and human forgiveness, and finding an unflinching heart when you need it most. It is written with such love and honesty you won't soon forget it. --Sue Monk Kidd, author of The Book of Longings A warmly appreciative memoir of sports and family. --Kirkus Reviews This is a book about basketball, yes, and fandom and home, and about fathers and daughters, to be sure--about all parents and children, really--but most of all it is a story about the fierce and redemptive power of love. --Wright Thompson, author of Pappyland While the world screams for our attention, Kate Fagan arrives, quietly hands us All The Colors Came Out, and we remember what matters. Fagan is an artist, so I knew this book would be brilliant. What I didn't expect was her gut wrenching and soul cleansing honesty about the complications and confusions of familial love. I finished feeling understood, less alone, and committed to being braver with my own father. This book will help heal relationships and hearts. All the Colors Came Out is a love story for the ages. --Glennon Doyle, author of the #1 Bestseller Untamed and the founder of Together Rising
