by Dwyane Wade (Author)

Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat is one of the superstars of the NBA--and a Gold Medal winner at the Bejing Olympics--but he's A Father First. In this moving and triumphant memoir, Wade shares his inspiring thoughts about fathers and sons, writing poignantly about the gratifying responsibilities of being a single dad to his two sons, Zaire and Zion, while recounting his own growing up years and his memorable rise to the top echelon of professional basketball.


But what does it mean to put fatherhood first when the world knows you as a superstar?


  • A Fight for Custody: The moving story of the painful, public, and drawn-out custody battle for his two sons, Zaire and Zion.
  • Overcoming Adversity: Wade's journey from the poverty and drugs of Chicago's Southside to the top of the NBA, guided by the love of his mother and the sacrifice of his sister, Tragil.
  • Life as a Single Dad: An honest look at the gratifying responsibilities and daily challenges of being a full-time single father in the high-pressure world of professional basketball.
  • A Father and Son Story: A powerful book for fathers and sons about faith, family, and how life truly can become bigger than basketball.

Dwyane Wade, the eight-time All-Star and two-time NBA champion for the Miami Heat and winner of a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, has miraculously defied the odds throughout his incredible career. But off the court Dwyane has sought his most cherished goal: being a good dad to his sons, Zaire and Zion. Dwyane begins his story in March 2011 with the news that after a long, bitter custody battle, he has been awarded sole custody of his sons. A Father First chronicles the lessons Dwyane has learned as a single dad as well as past events that shaped his dreams, prayers, and promises.

Though divorced, Dwyane's parents showed him that the unconditional love between parents and children is a powerful guiding force. A revealing, personal story of one of America's top athletes, A Father First is also a call to action--from a man who had to fight to be in his children's lives--that will show mothers and fathers how to step up and be parents themselves.
