A MUST READ

I just finished reading the most powerfully, poignant and deeply penetrating

book of a son's search for his father's life. THE OUTSIDER by Nathaniel Lachenmeyer

took my breath away. I was moved beyond composure and had to stop reading often.

I was compelled to read this unforgettable account of Nathaniel's journey. I applaud

him for his bravery, his masterful writing and the sincerity of his soul in sharing this

story with a world that sadly does not embrace his topic. May God have mercy on us

and show us the way.

I once wrote a poem called The Color of Choice that addresses Lachenmeyer's

topic, knowing full well that there are times and situations in life where choice is

not an option.
