Pre-Owned Raising Fences: A Black Man's Love Story, (Paperback)

A profound and heartrending memoir of a man who grew up fatherless in inner-city LA, coming to understand as his mother worked overtime to feed him that men were not to be trusted. But as a young man, having already committed petty theft, experimented with sex and developed a mortal fear of police, Michael still dreamed of having a loving wife and family. This is his dramatic story of faith lost and regained, of uncommon courage and power, told by an acclaimed journalist and poet who fought for his second chance. Brutally honest...hauntingly poetic - Essence
