This is the story of an American who grew up in a single parent family and whose father left when he was very young. It is the story of how various men provided good role models for him in his teens and 20s, and what he learned by watching and copying.
It’s a moving story which highlights key areas where a father’s presence and example is vital to his son’s proper development. Things such as learning how authority works, being a man, making decisions, friendship, relating to women, integrity, work, how to avoid self-pity and forgiving others.
