Beautiful Struggle
About This Novel
In an unfair world, how much strength does a father have to use to protect his son from falling into the abyss? On a road full of threats, how many struggles does a boy have to go through before he can grow up freely and safely? This is his own legendary father-son story narrated by Obama's beloved writer Thanasis Coates. It is also a true epitome of the survival of countless families in the corners of contemporary America, and the true growth path of countless teenagers. In poetic and powerful language, Thanasis Coates recalls how his father, a Vietnam veteran, Black Panther, and noted publisher, led his children out of the common fate of teenagers in Baltimore's ghettos in a fractured era and in a dangerous city. With his father's rough love, Coates walked out of the bloodshed on the streets, the violence in the school, and the depraved desires, and moved from darkness to light. This is a family epic fighting against life and an American fable fighting against reality.
