I have read this book twice and just finished listening to it. A wonderfully told story that grabbed my attention right from the start.

Excellent writer and orator. He can tell a distinct story without gory details. Satisfying to listen to because Moehringer's insight caused me to reflect on my own life experiences not matter how different they are.

Unusual story about a boy with a neglectful unavailable father. He grows up surrounded by his Uncle's buddies who congregate at a small neighborhood bar. He finds peace and comfort as well as advice and wisdom from an assortment of men. Mother is unstable but provides the necessary love and resourcefulness to keep J.R. in school and in her Father's home. J.R. is befriended by many men and betrayed by a lovely woman coed. From youth to maturity this story intrigues but still remains curiously disappointing. J.R. becomes a newspaper journalist and Mother finally rises from the ashes of her Father's domicile.
