The Great Depression. The South. Young Jacob’s story unfolds during a difficult time in the unforgiving south, a hard place for an African-American boy; Jacob Pete Manor, as he embarks upon his personal journey — his Rite of Passage.
Fourth and final child born to a family of sharecroppers from the rural area of Fayetteville, North Carolina, Jacob uncovers pertinent life truths that involve mother-son overbonding, betrayal, abandonment, sexual explorations, misconceptions of “manhood,” and other crucial challenges and milestones which ultimately lead Jacob to becoming the man God destined him to be.
Jacob was a dreamer with very high aspirations whose ambitions exceeded the scope of what a climate of segregation, inadequate school systems, and a mindset of inferiority dictated for a young African-American male. His successes, failures, and life’s ultimate lessons helped him uncover the true meaning of manhood. Jacob’s challenges and uniquely orchestrated stages of his life produced a far greater outcome than expected.
