DUCK TALE
A Quacking Good Trek to Manhood
Growing up in a duck swamp doesn't sound all that appealing. Yet, that's exactly the way I did, grow up I mean. My father used an unorthodox set of parenting techniques to show me the path to becoming a real man.
Man. What a misunderstood word! At what point does a boy become a man? Is it when he turns twenty-one? Could it be on Graduation Day? Maybe it's when he sees the birth of his first child? The answer: None of the above. Manhood is a state of mind, pure and simple. It is an achievement culled from mistakes and triumphs. Age has nothing to do with it. Old men can be boys; boys can be men. The whole truth is men know when they have become men, and are treated as such.
Come join me on a journey with the ducks and find out how boys become men...
“I found Duck Tale to be an intriguing and delightful memoir full of rich detail, humor, and color. The story grabs the reader and runs on to the next compelling imagery. What a coming-of-age story! Thanks so much for the opportunity to read!” ~ Sarah Stockdale, avid reader
