A Vagabond Life - Michael Byron Smith - Bog

Bag om A Vagabond Life

A Vagabond Life is a true story of a family lost. Told by Michael, the oldest son, it chronicles the challenges that arise from a lack of nurturing and a deep hunger for fatherly attention. His father is a man with demons, no paternal instinct, and no desire to improve. Michael, however, longs for the tender, intelligent father often exposed when demons allow it. His mother means well, but her youth and lack of education or marketable skills leaves her struggling to keep a roof over her family's heads. The births of six siblings over the course of nine years combine with ongoing evictions, neglect, and cyclical despair to form the backdrop for Michael's childhood and coming of age. With resilience, determination, and some glimmers of good fortune, Michael ultimately rises above his circumstances. Rich with both heartache and inspiration, A Vagabond Life digs deep to untangle the elements of his upbringing and make meaning of the factors impacting not only his life but those of his siblings and future generations.
