How can he teach his son to be a man, when his own father figures abandoned him? As a white man, what can he possibly teach his biracial son about how to live as a black man in America? And what does it even mean to be a man today, when society's expectations of men seem to change from moment to moment? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn search of answers, Calvin takes his young son on the road, traveling across the country to the annual rodeo in his small Iowa hometown.

In Niagara Falls, a day of arcade games and go-karts unexpectedly morphs into a titanic struggle between father and son. A stop in Chicago rips the scars off of old wounds. And back in Iowa, Calvin is forced to confront the most difficult question of all: What if his flaws and family history doom him to repeat the mistakes of the past? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this unforgettable debut memoir, Calvin Hennick holds a mirror up to both himself and modern America, in an urgent and timely story that all parents, and indeed all Americans, need to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Calvin Hennick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1888889977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781888889970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pushcart Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2019 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2019 pg. 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/17\/2020","brand":"Calvin Hennick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988048183551,"sku":"9781888889970","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a3b0bcce-e74e-40df-abbf-9e14bdcf45c5.jpg?v=1683292325","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/once-more-to-the-rodeo-calvin-hennick-9781888889970","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
