Description:One man’s journey in search of the American dream—and his long-lost father"Francis Richard Davis left when I was six, gone before I knew him. He abandoned my mom, brother, sister, and me in the early 1970s. He made it official with a phone call. I remember the neon yellow telephone cord stretching from the kitchen along the left side of my mom’s closed bedroom door. With eyes fresh with tears of permanent loss, she hung up the phone and announced the news. ‘Your father won’t be coming back any more.'"Merrick Alpert’s life dramatically changed the day his father left. The child of a suddenly single mother, living among the farms of rural Connecticut, Merrick found himself on a path that was starkly different from that of his peers—a path with emotional and financial hardships, and one that challenged what he knew about himself, his family, and his future. Morning Sun is the true story of Merrick’s life after his father abandoned him—a memoir that details the events that led him on a journey to law school, to the war-torn streets of Bosnia, through the American landscape of a historic race for the White House, and to a profound discovery in Morning Sun, Iowa. It is a story about the courage to confront the past, the necessity of healing old wounds, and the possibility of faith in the midst of adversity—a story that ends where it began: with family, with courage, and with the determination to help make the world a better place.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
