“I bought this book for my oldest son. It arrived today with the sweetest inscription; I sat right down, read the whole thing, and put it right in his room. Full of real talk and positive messages. Thank you!”

“I wish I’d had someone I looked up to lay everything out like this as I headed into high school. I even found the book helpful in navigating some current life experiences. It’s uplifting as much as it is entertaining.”

“As a woman in my early twenties, I wasn’t sure what I would get out of this book. I found myself relating to the stories more than I could have imagined. Tom does a fantastic job of humbly sharing his perspective on all topics of life without setting it as the gold standard for how to live. I felt understood and cared for in a way that encouraged me to be confident in myself now, and who I was when I was experiencing these things for the first time.”

“Tom does a marvelous job describing many of the topics and thoughts in the mind of a teenage boy in high school. ALL the topics are real and should be discussed in the parent/child relationship. It is one of the best writings on topics of adolescent boys’ growth I have read. Genuine, humble, and important.”
