D. John Whiteman is an author of over 20 fiction and nonfiction books and is currently working on Fathers and Sons. He depicts eternal and internal struggles in a voice that can't be pinned down. He upholds teaching and causes students to remark, "He writes like we talk!" Whiteman won too many awards to be listed in five consecutive minutes and he displays a depiction of life that is at once beautiful and crude.
Fathers and Sons is about an orphan in Philadelphia who confronts racial equality and the summer of 1955. Throughout the story, Whiteman uses newspapers to enhance the plot and two examples of this is Emmett Trill's murder and the Philadelphia fire. As an author he is focused on the "unacceptable" in our world. He wonders how we maintain our dignity with all of the evil and things that should not be permitted by our humanity.
