Where Does the Parent Stand? (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781475980868)

A week before his fifteenth birthday, Tolerance Lamar became a father to a baby boy. At the time, he knew he wanted to be a good dad. But for this underage dropout with a weakness for theft, parenting would be a long and arduous journey.

In this memoir, Lamar reflects on his life journey as he fathers six children with three women and examines a parent's role in the proper upbringing of today's youth. In Where Does the Parent Stand? Lamar talks about his past--one that's littered with betrayal, resentment, and bad choices. He discusses his mistakes, and in retrospect, provides parenting advice to help make a difference for others struggling with today's issues of raising children.

Where Does the Parent Stand? presents a true, dramatic story about what it's like to become a parent at a young age and the daily struggle to not only survive, but also provide. Lamar offers a testament to how he escaped the concrete jungle in order to live a meaningful life. Tolerance Lamar lives in Tampa, Florida.
