Tucker Very interesting biography of a man who took you through his life from early childhood to present day. The author's story entails the trials and tribulations that any reader can probably relate to or be able to relate the author's life experience's to someone else's life experience. The author was very open about his life and shows you how he made it in life with the guidance and strength of an older brother and two older sisters. The author tells you how his family struggled financially and how he became separated from his older siblings because of the financial strain on his single mother having to leave him behind to be cared for by other relatives for a few years at the age of six. The author talks about the devastation of his mother's passing during his teen years and how holding onto family values given them by their mother gave his older siblings the strength to keep the family together. The book is dedicated to the legacy and memory of his recently late older brother who was instrumental in his life and present day successful lifestyle.

What I liked most were those nostalgic moments, having grown up during the same era as the author. He also gives an insightful description of the typical life of a Correction Officer behind Rikers Island prison gates, so if you are looking for a quick and interesting read, this book is a good choice. Thanks for taking us on your journey James G. Houston and I wish you continued success.

I am from the South and raised in a home with a matriarch, so I could relate to the strong moral foundation that was instilled in the writer. As his story continued to unfold throughout his puberty, again, I was able to relate. The author's ability to recount the many events that happen in one's life was amazing to me. It was if he knew that one day he was going to tell his story to the world and had good notes but in actuality it was just his keen memory. I felt the hurt, pain and loss when his mother and brother died because I, too, formed a relationship with them as he described what they were like as individuals. It was indeed interesting to read how his life events unfolded and how he "grew to be a man". This is a book that teaches or rather shares the lessons that he was taught. It is that, that makes the book valuable for anyone to read, especially a young man growing up today. Cudos....Mr. Houston! You did a fine job.
