The Way Around:Finding My Mother and Myself among the Yanomami

[*Read by the author - David Good]

For much of his young life, David Good was torn between two vastly different worlds. The son of an American anthropologist and a tribeswoman from a distant part of the Amazon, it took him twenty years to embrace his identity, reunite with the mother who left him when he was six, and claim his heritage. In an amazing chronicle of self-discovery, Good writes sympathetically about his mother's abandonment and the deleterious effect it had on his young self, of his rebellious teenage years marked by depression and drinking, and the near-fatal car accident that transformed him and gave him purpose to find a way back to his mother.
