Title: Bittersweet coming of age story set in the Inner City
Product review: R. J. Davenport's "Memoirs" is a funny, sad, and compelling tale of growing up in the inner city. Davenport excels at wringing simple yet poignant truths out of "regular" situations. I found my self really rooting for R. J., as he gets into, and out of, scrapes with girls, parents, rivals and all manner of authority figures. Some of the humor probably lessened the more sad aspect of the story - growing up fatherless - or worse - rejected by a father who was inaccessible and seemingly impossible to please. Yet R. J. rises above it all. Men will easily relate to the misadventures of youth - and the difficulty and sense of separation from their own fathers that so many men experienced as teenagers...and learned to live with as adults. Congratulations to R. J.! His spirit shines through in his tale, and it his spirit that makes him a true champion.
