A Fatherless Son’s Journey into Manhood, Marriage, and Fatherhood

The boy on the bench made it. Now the man had to show up.

“Nobody taught me how to be a man. So I guessed.”

Book Two of Dr. Manny Scott's memoir is on the way: learning how to be a husband and a father without ever having seen a good one up close.

Turning the Page ends in a 375-square-foot studio apartment above a pizza place in Oakland, with a brand-new husband who had no idea what he was doing.

The Inheritance picks up right there. Marriage. Seminary. Fatherhood. Life on the road. And the long, honest work of becoming the man a stranger on a park bench once said he could be.

"Years earlier, a stranger on a park bench had looked me in the eye and told me I could become the man I had never met, the father I never had. I believed him then."
