Max is one of the one-in-three children in America being raised without a father in the home. To help fill the father-shaped hole in Max's life as he transitioned from boyhood to manhood, MaryAnne invited four men from different corners of her life --an engineer, a philanthropist, a publisher, and a financial planner--to become Max's mentors. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMax has faced many challenges. As a boy without a consistent father figure in his life, as an African-American male in a time when race relations in this country continue to be fraught, and also because Max was born premature and as a result has cerebral palsy, he has had to be a true warrior. On the brink of manhood, his mother wanted to give him the benefit of men who could answer some of the questions she felt that she, as a woman, might not be able to answer. Through his adolescence, Max's mentors have shared valuable insights with him about what it means to be a good man in the face of life's challenges. These lessons, recounted in this book, will serve as a powerful roadmap for anyone wishing to support boys as they approach manhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maryanne Howland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0593421418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593421413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tarcherperigee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Maryanne Howland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988683423999,"sku":"9780593421413","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_32d73dfb-8e0f-4ecd-b579-9e31696c3188.jpg?v=1683295803","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/warrior-rising-maryanne-howland-9780593421413","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
