I recommend to anyone wanting a memoir.
J.R. Moehringer wrote this memoir about his search to be a good man, his struggles with school and writing only to realize that the solid strength in his life was his mother. His writing is straightforward and I was able to relate to several topics in his book. It’s in two parts; the first part is about his childhood with his mother and the second in trying to graduate from Yale, to write, and understanding the lessons he learned from the many men he turned to at Dickens/Publicans for knowledge, strength and comfort. This isn’t how the book ends, but I’m not going to spoil it for anyone.
I cried from his touching admiration he had for his mother and how he distanced himself from her. His book is a learning experience from an only child’s POV whose father left him to search for traits in others on how to be a good man so he can take care of his mom. In the end, he learned that his mother possessed the strength he desperately needed in life. The second wonderful thing he did for his mother was dedicate this book to her.
