John Davis grew up in the 1970s and '80s on the rough roadways of Brooklyn, a location where nobody thought twice when parents smacked around their kids - or each other. At the center of the tumultuous community, and John's world, was his larger-than-life father, Roberto. The Argentinean butcher and kingpin drug supplier was a sadistic bully whose mercurial temper still left a path of tears and chaos across his family. John, in particular, seemed to tolerate the brunt of Roberto's wildly swinging moods. Any incorrect word might lead to an explosion. Every knock on the entranceway might be one of Roberto's enemies, or the authorities. In his posting debut, Davis recounts how he spent his childhood in constant terror and his young years understanding how to fight back. But it was much later, as a grown-up, that he learned the most stunning thing of most about his father, his recent, and himself. Advised with raw honesty and deep emotion, My Father's Child is a memoir of fear, abuse, success, and identity.
