About The Book
Imagine one event, one person changing your life forever. Imagine a new place, a different and foreign culture that opens the world to you. It happened to my family. We went from enduring a very simple and poor existence in a small North Carolina town, to living across the globe in one of the largest and most dangerous cities on the planet, Bangkok. It was three and half years that has affected our entire lives. Oh, there was also major war raging next door, just few hundred miles away. The stories and adventures in the book cannot be imagined. Family and friends, and the strength and guidance of my mother and father got my family through many dangerous and uncertain times. But, it was magical too. Thailand is beautiful and tropical. The cities are bustling and the beaches are pristine.
An Early Adolescence has many themes. It’s about a mother and her two sons overcoming crisis and the man who saved them, making them whole. It’s about leaving the poverty they found themselves in and the affluence a change of place and culture provided. It’s about a man who made mistakes, but never gave up and became a father and husband. It’s about a young man finding his place in the world, growing up too fast in an environment with no rules. And, it’s about that young man coming home to family, after the lines he crossed became too much…too early. It’s the journey of a lifetime.
