{"product_id":"book-cr0f","title":"Warrior Rising","description":"\u003cb\u003eAn eye-opening look at one mother's determination to provide positive male role models for her son, and the power of great mentoring to change lives.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen MaryAnne Howland's son was turning thirteen she organized a \"Black Mitzvah\" rite of passage celebration for him. Max is one of the one-in-three children in America being raised without a father in the home. Among African-Americans, that number is reported to be as high as 72 percent. To help fill the father-shaped hole in Max's life as he transitioned from boyhood to manhood, MaryAnne invited four men from different corners of her life --an engineer, a philanthropist, a publisher, and a financial planner--to become Max's mentors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMax has faced many challenges. As a boy without a consistent father figure in his life, as an African-American male in a time when race relations in this country continue to be fraught, and also because Max was born premature and as a result has cerebral palsy, he has had to be a true warrior. On the brink of manhood, his mother wanted to give him the benefit of men who could answer some of the questions she felt that she, as a woman, might not be able to answer. Through his adolescence, Max's mentors have shared valuable insights with him about what it means to be a good man in the face of life's challenges. These lessons, recounted in this book,  will serve as a powerful roadmap for  anyone wishing to support boys as they approach manhood.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49328180527408,"sku":"BDcr0f","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/538640-cr0f-Square.jpg?v=1733708520","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cr0f","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
