Biography & Autobiography. Family & Relationships. Multi-Cultural. Nonfiction. Growing up on the Navajo Indian Reservation, David Crow and his siblings idolized their dad. Tall, strong, smart, and brave, the self-taught Cherokee regaled his family with stories of his World War II feats. But as time passed, David discovered the other side of Thurston Crow, the ex-con with his own code of ethics that justified cruelty, violence, lies-even murder. A shrewd con artist with a genius IQ, Thurston intimidated David with beatings to coerce him into doing his criminal bidding. David's mom, too mentally ill to care for her children, couldn't protect him. One day, Thurston packed up the house and took the kids, leaving her nothing. Soon he remarried, and David learned that his stepmother was just as vicious and abusive as his father. Through sheer determination, and with the help of a few angels along the way, David managed to get into college and achieve professional success. When he finally found the courage to stop helping his father with his criminal activities, he unwittingly triggered a plot of revenge that would force him into a showdown with Thurston Crow. With lives at stake, including his own, David would have only twenty-four hours to outsmart his father-the brilliant, psychotic man who bragged that the three years he spent in the notorious San Quentin State Prison had been the easiest time of his life.… (mais)

Loved this book! So well written. Cliche, but I laughed, I cried... I can't imagine having had such an upbringing. The author showed his strength and perseverance throughout. Highly, highly recommend - especially if there's someone you need to forgive. Even yourself. ( )

Growing up with an abusive father and a mentally ill mother, David's family takes the prize for being dysfunctional. Overcoming dyslexia, limited vision and hearing, he completes a college degree and succeeds in a career. He finally forgives both his parents and puts his past to rest. ( )

Wow, first off I applaud the author for sharing his story. It is not easy to put yourself out there for the whole world to see and judge. Yet, this is one of the most real memoir type books I have read in a long while. In the beginning of the book, I was just a casual acquaintance but by the end, I had become a fan of Mr. Crow.

Experiencing what Mr. Crow went through, it would be easy for many people to give into this same life style as an adult. If abuse is all you know, it kind of becomes a part of your DNA. So, here is how I became a fan of Mr. Crow. Let's be honest; his childhood was horrible. Yet, he and his siblings dug themselves out of the hole to become successful people with good families of their own.

There was a saying that I really liked. It was from a man who lived in Mr. Crow's home from childhood. After hearing Mr. Crow's story, the man said to Mr. Crow "You can't change your childhood, but you can let it go."

Warning as this book does feature abuse. Not just physical but psychological abuse as well. ( )
