Riassunto

A follow-up to The Pact traces the experiences of three African-American doctors whose early friendship was marked by their fatherless upbringings in drug-influenced, inner-city Newark; their shared agreement to become physicians against the odds; and their efforts to reconnect with the fathers who were unavailable to them in childhood. 100,000 first printing.

Recensione:

"The Bond is powerful, candid, straight talk needed to help mend our community fabric and strengthen our family ties. This honest and often poignant testimony from The Three Doctors is potent medicine that will heal and help fortify all readers."
- Cory Booker, mayor of Newark, New Jersey

"Doctors Davis, Hunt and Jenkins know how vital it is for all children to have relationships with both their father and their mother. Every parent should read THE BOND because it highlights the power of forgiveness and drives home the fact that it's never too late to be a family."
- Bill Cosby

"The Three Doctors pull no punches when they tell us what it's like to grow up in Newark, N.J, without a father in their lives: I grew up in that neighborhood, too. But they're not complaining. Instead, they did something about it-they reconnected with their fathers. THE BOND is the powerful story of how they did it, and it shows that it's never too late to be a father to your children. This is a book that every father and every family should read and take to heart. It's honest and brave and true."
-Queen Latifah, musician, actress, and author of Ladies First

"There is no shortage of statistics that bear out the anguish and pathology resulting from the absence of fathers in the lives of children, but The Bond tells a different story. Once again The Three Doctors have illustrated that none of us are bound by our beginnings and ultimately, even for black men, love wins."
-Tavis Smiley, television and radio host, author of What I Know For Sure
