Luther Brown and his wife divorced when their children, Nikki and Marshall were four and five. "I read every book I could find about the process of child rearing, about my own psychological fitness for parenting alone" he writes. "In all that I read, I never once encountered a story by an African-American father" Now the Washington, DC-based black television newscaster writes about the lessons and cherished moments surrounding a divorced father raising his two children. Will they handle the trauma of having divorced parents? How does he equip them with the essentials for becoming contributing members of society? Scene after scene, Luther Brown's personal narrative weaves the reader through an inspiring series of challenges he faces. There's no preaching. And Brown hasn't written a how-to. He merely retells the scenes. They are laughable, disturbing, but mostly tender...all leading to the portrait of a father's raising his best friends.
