"MANCHILD" tells the heartbreaking story of a young boy named Jon, born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. The child along with his mother endure endless persecution, both physically and psychologically throughout the story. The boy, beaten, severely abused and sexually assaulted before the age of seven sets the journey for early manhood with a strong and unbroken will to survive. The protagonists do not limit their insanity to the child alone. It is also inflicted upon the child's mother and any or all others that get in the way. Men war amongst one another in the streets of New York. One criminal act surpasses another as the brutality continues to escalate. Inner city neighborhoods provide the background for bookmaking, numbers racketing and loan sharking. Animal instincts versus violent intelligence make for formidable opponents. The child fades to the background at times as the madness continues, but just as the adults are, Jon is always there as well. Take the journey, but be prepared to encounter a scenario that will propel you to levels far beyond human comprehension. Perhaps you may smile every now and then, but it will not last very long. Anger alone will drive you through this story like a runaway train.

Remember pencils....? "Designing and Drafting homes became my passion" Author Richard Deatherage has created a memoir that will likely be a standard toward which all future memoirists will reach. Not only is the book beautifully written as a coming of age story, but it also is a reflection on Americana - the way we have lived and the impact of history on our families and our lives.In a sensitive prologue, Richard writes, "Our American way of life has given each of us the individual challenge to become successful in our own individual way, with all the opportunities and common freedoms to mold yourself into a career field you have chosen. The evolution of my early childhood had set forth an abundance of confidence early on in my life. To make difficult decisions and to change easily to what ever came my way - continuing to this day. My adventures growing up in the 1960's and 70's throughout America as an official United States Air Force Brat (USAFB) had given me a unique perspective on our American way of life."Deatherage recounts his witnessing racism, family struggles while his father served in Vietnam, absorbing the Midwestern life style while moving as a military family every four years, and his eventual settling in California, his passion for drafting discovered in Mechanical Drafting class in high school, to his successful career as a carpenter, draftsman, builder and construction superintendent, has lead in the blossoming of Sacramento area, the abrupt change in his life brought about by the infamous 2008 economic crash, and ultimately the death of his beloved father, All of this saga is related with the warmth that makes this book memorable. One aspect of Richard's novel - and indeed it does become a story worth of the term novel - There is an innocence here that is reminiscent of milder times, the aspects of yesteryear that continue to provide us with hope for a better tomorrow. The impact and importance of family is securely placed front and center- a treasured aspect of this fine memoir. recommended for all readers of all ages...- Grady Harp July 19, 2019 top 100 Amazon hall of fame contributors " The Last Lead Holders is a tightly written memoir that will make readers laugh, cry, reminisce and dream of simpler times - although the times were never actually simple at all. Yet while nostalgia plays a big part of the story, the powerful themes are universal for everyone to remember, regardless of their generation. A painful and powerful story of American life, The Last Lead Holder is highly recommended." Self-Publishing Review, 4.5 stars
