It's hard to review memoirs because it feels as though you are judging the author and their life choices。 That's not the case here。 Melvin has written a thoughtful and impactful book that looks not only at his own family but at others as well。 His father was an alcoholic and addict who has struggled mightily over the years。 He also was the impetus for Melvin to change the narrative for his future。 I liked that he wraps in life in South Carolina n the 80s and 90s and that he credits his mother， a It's hard to review memoirs because it feels as though you are judging the author and their life choices。 That's not the case here。 Melvin has written a thoughtful and impactful book that looks not only at his own family but at others as well。 His father was an alcoholic and addict who has struggled mightily over the years。 He also was the impetus for Melvin to change the narrative for his future。 I liked that he wraps in life in South Carolina n the 80s and 90s and that he credits his mother， an incredible woman， for doing all she could for him and his brothers。 He was lucky， he knows， to have had other men step in to provide more solid role models。 The transition to understanding and appreciating his father could not have been as easy as Melvin makes it appear but all credit to hm for doing the hard work。 Thanks to Edelweiss for the ARC。 An excellent read。 。。。more

Man， this is a good one。 Craig is pretty dang real about the struggles his family faced， from his dad's birth behind bars to alcoholism， gambling addiction， cancer。。。 the works。 Here shares about the lessons he's learned about fatherhood from the previous generations， which are beautiful and raw。 There are a few places I felt got bogged down with too much detail or slightly off topic， but overall， it's a solid read。 Man， this is a good one。 Craig is pretty dang real about the struggles his family faced， from his dad's birth behind bars to alcoholism， gambling addiction， cancer。。。 the works。 Here shares about the lessons he's learned about fatherhood from the previous generations， which are beautiful and raw。 There are a few places I felt got bogged down with too much detail or slightly off topic， but overall， it's a solid read。 。。。more
