The Man Of Many Fathers

I borrowed The Man Of Many Fathers: Life Lessons disguised As A Memoir, written by Roy Wood Jr. from the  library. Although I had never heard of the author before he is a well known writer, producer, actor and comic. He hosted the 2023 White House Correspondents' dinner. He writes about his strict, hard working mother and his mostly absent father. His father was a well known radio personality and civil rights leader in Birmingham, Alabama.  He didn't get into too much trouble as a kid except that one time when he and his friends adapted their leaf races in the stream behind the house. They added burning piles of pine needles on top of the leaves and started a forest fire. The author had an interesting story to tell.
