In an intimate and non-traditional memoir, Kwame Alexander shares snapshots of a man learning how to love. He explores his difficulties as a newly wedded, 22-year-old father, and the precariousness of his early marriage working in a jazz club with his second wife. Alexander attempts to deal with the unraveling of his marriage and the grief of his mother's passing while sharing the solace he found in learning how to perfect her famous fried chicken. With an open heart, Alexander weaves together memories of his past to try and understand his greatest love: his daughters.
