This coming-of-age story is one that may resonate with sons and fathers worldwide. It touches on the predictable, yet unintended consequences that accompany the potentially addictive behaviors and sometimes unwise choices made by a young boy. It also pulls back the curtain on the tumultuous but loving relationship between a father and the son who is growing up and declaring that he is now a man who does not need to listen to his father anymore. The book has beautiful images of life, often captured in memory, but never written down to be remembered. Readers can expect a Vol. II follow up to this book to see how the father and son reconcile and how the young man takes charge of his own life to become the man that God intended him to become.
