Once more to the rodeo : a memoir / Calvin Hennick.
"Five years into fatherhood, Calvin Hennick is plagued by self-doubts and questions. 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? In this unforgettable debut memoir, Calvin takes his son on the road, traveling from Boston across the country to his hometown in Iowa, seeking answers. He holds up a mirror to both himself and the country in an urgent and timely story that all parents, and indeed all Americans, need to read."--from cover page 4.
