This book is a compilation of stories about African American men, aptly referred to as The Menfolk. These men hail from all walks of life, and they range from ages eighteen through ninety-eight. A majority of these men were reared in traditional homes, and they boast of being proud Americans. They are sons, brothers, husbands, father's/grandfathers, uncles and nephews, all of whom have contributed to America's growth and prosperity. They represent every socioeconomic, educational, and political stature in America and around the world. African American men, in particular, have come under intense racial fire since the 2008 election of Senator Barack H. Obama, the first African American and forty-fourth president of the United States. Men represented in this book are unsung heroes whose contributions are largely ignored and unheralded. Thus, this book is dedicated to them and millions of their counterparts.

Mahrynie reads like the pages of a family photo album. It is frothed with marital, parent/child and family conflicts. This work contains vivid pictorial accounts of romance, domestic violence, murder and suicide. It is set in the Deep Southern State of Arkansas and continues on Galveston Island, Texas. All the nuances of Mahrynie's psychosocial development spans a fifty years time period. She eventually ends up in San Francisco, California. This book is serious, delightfully funny and is told in a poignant genre. It is the culmination of three marriages and divorces, seven children, surviving and living happily ever after these life-shattering events. Mahrynie began as a memoir of the author; however, it evolved into a novella as a courtesy to the authors' family.
