Over fourteen years of raising eight kids, chiropractor and youth sports coach John Lemke began jotting down the raw, deadpan, and hilarious dialogues happening across his kitchen table, in doctor waiting rooms, and on long drives to weekend baseball tournaments. What started as quick phone notes evolved into a daily time capsule centered on his son Gabriel—a middle-child philosopher with an unshakeable sense of self, a surprisingly elevated vocabulary, and an ongoing habit of auditing adult idioms.

Part domestic survival guide and part comedy skit collection, Conversations with Gabriel offers an unvarnished, heartwarming, and occasionally bizarre look at the reality of large-family life.
