Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what would make a man not be in his child's life? Perhaps you wondered why your best friend's dad was always around, yet yours was missing in action? Did you blame yourself as a child thinking you were the reason your dad did not come to see you or never showed up when he promised he would? As we all know there are always three sides to every story. His, hers, and then there is the truth. In this book, these men agreed to share with the author and have decided to peel back the layers and share some of their own personal experiences in their parenting journey. They talk about everything from abuse to the lack of their own father being there for them. There also are some that speak on substance abuse and how it not only affected them but also their child(ren). Last but definitely not least of all, there is always the man that was just that, "a man" and he has been there from the beginning. Delve into the world of Letters From My Brothers and read about these journeys as well as the words that are being left behind in an effort to stop this cycle while encouraging another young man who has yet to become a father. Tranita A. Randolph Stephens has opened what some may call a pandora's box but most will say that it is much needed and enlightening.
