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.

Avery Leigh –
These books are a well written, engaging, and Superbly crafted experience. But it’s not just another trilogy of books. The books explore the misconceptions, mistakes, and realities of manhood. They follow the journey, and the valuable lessons learned along the way. Definitely a trilogy that any young man can learn from. Worth far more than every penny.
