THE FATHER AND THE SON

MATT MURRAY

Harper Collins. 260 pp. $25.

WE COUNT on our fathers. They are the tethers on which we first swing out into the world, never letting us too far from their sight and always ready to reel us back in.

When Matt Murray was 7 years old, those assumptions about his father were shaken. A reporter for The Wall Street Journal and former Virginian-Pilot copy editor, he writes in ``The Father and the Son'' of the time when his mother died and his father found religion.

His mother's death from cancer scattered his older siblings and left Matt and his father, James, alone in the house.
