Magic Lessons: Celebratory and Cautionary Tales about Life as a (Single, Gay, Transracially-Adoptive) Dad shares stories and reflections about family life for Joe—a single, gay, white man—and his adopted black sons. It details Joe's experiences of being amazed, aggravated, exasperated, and awed by his kids and others in their family journey —and reveals lessons learned about being "other" and Joe's own parenting successes and mistakes.!

"Joseph shares openly from his heart the purpose and passion behind leading and guiding with love. Magic Lessons is a book for parents, but all leaders who want to make a difference in the world as it is a book about love, hope, acceptance, and joy."! - Shannon Kaiser, Best-selling author of The Love Experiment!

Joseph Sadusky is an author and award- winning poet. Built around themes of identity and otherness, his poems have appeared in the Madison Review, anabasis, and Poet's Sanctuary. This is his first nonfiction book.
