Dive into the life and mind of a not so stereotypical African American male. In this book, he describes the emotional struggles of an introverted man living in an extroverted world. Survival stories of being bullied and rejected as a child, lust, fears, pride, sexuality, insecurities, divorce, fatherhood, manhood and the lifelong impact of living in a fatherless environment are all played out in the tale of this author's life. In this book, taboo subjects like men living on the "down-low" and the people who say they love them are discussed from the perspective of a black man who has a profound understanding of both those living in that glass house and the ones peering through the window, rocks in hand. Take a journey into the life and mind of a man who through perseverance and relentless ambition, emerged triumphant in spite of the many hurdles, hurts, and setbacks he was forced to face. Many may still be running through the maze of life, reaching towards the light at the end of the tunnel however life is not ultimately about how you start, it's how you finish.
