Overview

Helmets on and gear up for a close-up look at the anguished plight of children, teens, and young adults growing up without supportive fathers. While the role of dads in the home continues to be marginalized, the negative effects of their absence is ever-increasing. In Father Away From Me, the author's personal experience of life in a fatherless home is a tender narrative that cross-connects with other men and their own disadvantaged journeys. An awakening--and a challenge--to all fathers (and fathers-to-be) is heralded throughout the book, while expressing hope for a return to a time when the integrous leadership of loving, committed dads was welcomed throughout the land. This autobiographical account of the assorted difficulties kids face without dad guiding them through the various cycles of growth is balanced with ideas on how to solve this problem. Using a tactical method of true storytelling along with sprinkles of fictional episodes, Father Away From Me invites the reader to participate in its efforts to consider ways to bring dad home and keep him there. When all is said and done, the expected result is for ultimate fatherhood to be clearly understood, so that a life of wholesome abundance will be more easily attained.

This book digs at the heart of absentee fatherhood, literally and figuratively depicting the inner exhausted feelings of the author in his formative and adult years of life. For those of you who were in your late teens around the late 50's and early 60's, living in the inner cities you may the early chapters quite nostalgic. The author notes aspirations common to many young boys in that era. Those of us with fathers can easily relate to aspirations followed by inputs of encouragement by our fathers. This book denotes the inner pain, quest and search for resolve. It talks of family dynamics with a father in and out of the family with no recognizable concern for the children. The author speaks to the heart of a fathers' absence in those years of early adolescence; inclusive of life turning decision regarding military enlistment. Images at thoughts while engaged on a naval destroyer ship at sea are vividly captured in an almost metaphoric way. Comparative examples of different feelings and occurrences are contrasted with scriptures from the bible and this gradually moving throughout the book culminating to the true father we so often overlook. The ultimate father our heavenly creator and ever loving father. I recommend this book to anyone, male or female who has endured the absence of a father present in their life. I trust it will encourage a greater appreciation for those with fathers, whom they have taken for granted and or a rekindled spirit of reconciliation in an estranged relationship. with their father.
