What if the greatest strength a father could show wasn't found in silence or stoicism—but in vulnerability, presence, and unwavering love?

In Dad Was Different: How One Man's Way of Loving Changed Everything, Amiable Shing shares a moving, deeply personal tribute to a father who broke the mold. In a world that often equates love with words and toughness with strength, this father chose empathy, quiet courage, and deep emotional presence. His example didn't just influence those closest to him—it transformed an entire way of thinking about love, family, and what it means to truly show up.

Through heartfelt storytelling and intimate reflections, this memoir explores:

  • The power of love shown through everyday acts
  • How vulnerability redefines strength
  • The healing impact of listening and presence
  • Lessons passed down across generations
  • How one life rooted in compassion can leave a legacy that lasts forever
  • Whether you're reflecting on your own relationship with a parent, navigating the path of parenting yourself, or simply drawn to stories of love that endure—this book will resonate deeply.

    Dad Was Different is not just about one man. It's about the quiet revolution that happens when we choose to love differently.
