This memoir packs a big punch. Nathan opens the doors on what it feels like to be a young boy with no father or father figure around. He longs for a father and has no idea what a man's place in life is. He was raised by women. Strong women. He watches the actions of his friends fathers to learn.
Nathan has a big heart. As I read his story from boy to man I couldn't help but feel love for this brother. He certainly went through some things.
I liked that he studied the many religions out there. Nathan showed great strength fighting the system for his children when their mother would take off for days and not return. While she was out using drugs Nathan held it all down.
With thoughts of abandonment and suicide, trying to find his place in life was no easy task. Lewis states that he struggled to write this book four times but had to stop because it became to painful. I'm glad he found the strength to finish it. Nathan is a survivor. His story has now become a useful tool for many young boys with no father. A great guide into a child's mind for single mothers. This book is all heart. Nathan's journey gives hope. The statistics in the back of the book on Child Abuse, Divorce, Fatherlessness and Suicide
Are down right disturbing and eye opening.
