The story of a man born and living in USA. It is one of the few stories that makes us see the world of an American boy who is though born in a country where most think that it is the land of all opportunities, however his emotional & social status describe the pain that Robert the protagonist lives and strives in his life. The voice of the author is so clear in the story as his emotions and honest feelings are poured generously in every page, on every line interpreting the struggle of a man who laughs, desires, forgives, forgets and rises back on his own feet and follows his path to reach happiness. I advice women to read this story because, in a world where we as women are suffering, this book would open a window to the world of men who suffer too when they are honest and in the quest of true love, also men should read it in order to see the difference between superiority complex and self-recognition. The book shows that chivalrous men still exist in this monstrous world. In the end stories as such inspire readers that regardless our species we suffer yet we can find happiness. I give the book four stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars - Kick in the pants
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2020
This is not a typical midlife crisis self-help publication. The author tells his personal story and respects the reader's ability to glean the lessons from his experience of "waking up" at 50. If you are looking for the motivation to honestly take responsibility for your life, this will be a great kick in the pants. When I received this book, I sat down to just skim it. Two hours later, I turned the last page and thought, "Wow". Disclosure: I received a media preview copy of this book from the author.
Rosy Reader - 5.0 out of 5 stars - The Revelation of Life Lessons
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2020
Things to know before purchasing/downloading: This is an autobiography done under a pseudonym. There is mention of abuse, sexual encounters, adult language and violence.
This is the story of "Robert", his family, and his life as he lived it. There is plenty to learn as Robert's past is revealed. The decisions that were made and their outcomes. I was propelled by the story telling and found the book hard to put down.
Another Holy Warrior - 5.0 out of 5 stars - Breaking the Mold
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2021
It's very difficult to break the mold you were raised in, and then become trapped for so many years in a controlling marriage, where you were basically treated as a servant and kept in a childish role.
To break that mindset, grow up, become responsible and successful, is a testament to the authors character, backbone, and willingness to change. To also become capable of sharing your story and helping other hurting people is the true gift of character and healing. That is where the most growth happens. I applaud the author!
