DAD@14 chronicles the transformational journey of Richard Harrison as he reconciles his experiences with his de&#64257;nitions of fatherhood and manhood. This very intimate story takes the reader through his discovery of himself. Richard's childhood experiences in two drastically different environments shaped his views on life. He lived between a racially charged community in Renton, Washington, and an area of Inglewood, California, that was inundated with gang warfare, drugs, crime and a paramilitary, occupying police force. As he traveled between the two, he found himself looking for a place to &#64257;t in. As an athlete, sports became his refuge. However, his life as he knew it was interrupted when he discovered he was a father at fourteen. Richard was forced to deal with his deep feelings of abandonment by his own father while learning how to raise his son. This story of redemption will provide readers with insight into the life of a man who, despite it all, was destined to be a man who his son could admire.
