Each year there are more single-parent boys who do not have the guidance and wisdom of a steady dad or even a willing and appropriate male role model. They are left with the negative, inappropriate, or outlandish ones seen in the media.

Inside are the chronicles of 26 authors’ a-ha moments, their turning points, revelations, and insights on their journeys to manhood. These moments are psychological, sociological, professional, or spiritual, and they will be inspiring and educational. These men are of all races and ages and from all over the US and Canada.

Men like these extraordinary, unsung heroes often live and die without the opportunity to tell their stories. Their journeys, successes, and setbacks are just as inspiring as the more famous ones and deserve to be told. The collective wisdom here is priceless for a practical and achievable understanding of what it means to be a man.

Be prepared to laugh, cry, and experience triumph in their journeys.
