VenmoCraig Melvin SIGNED Book-First Edition-Pops: Learning To Be A Son & A Father-NEW-Hardcover
A deeply personal exploration of fatherhood, addiction, and resiliency from Craig Melvin, news anchor of NBC’s Today show.It is on hardcover, a first edition, and also signed by Craig Melvin. It’s a special book in many ways. It’s also still in the plastic as you can see and so it is brand new!
For Craig Melvin this book is more an investigation than a memoir. It's an opportunity to better understand his father; to interrogate his family's legacy of addiction and despair but also transformation and redemption; and to explore the challenges facing all dads--including Craig himself, a father of two young children. Growing up in Columbia, South Carolina, Craig had a fraught relationship with hisfather. Lawrence Melvin was a distant, often absent parent due to his drinking as well as his job working thegraveyard shift at a postal facility. Watching sports and tinkering on Lawrence's beloved (but unreliable) 1973 Pontiac LeMans were two ways father and son connected,but as Lawrence's drinking spiraled out of control, their bond was stretched to the breaking point. Fortunately, Craig had a loving, fiercely protective mother who held the family together. He also had a series of surrogate father figures in his life--uncles, teachers, workplace mentors--who by their examples helped him figure out the kind of person and father hewanted to be. Pops is the story of all these men--and of the inspiring fathers Craig has met reporting his Dads Got This Series on the Today show. Pops is also the story of Craig and Lawrence Melvin's long journey to reconciliation and understanding, and of how all these experiences and encounters have informed Craig's understanding of his own role as a dad.
