Description

Kyle Lee Bradley stands by an open grave and watches his father lowered into the earth. With his wife and children by his side, he tries to find some sadness for his loss, but cannot. When he looks around he sees none of his three brothers showing any emotion either. What follows is a heart wrenching evolution while he struggles with an unspoken past, a tumultuous present and a desperate future. Driven to know the truth, he journeys to Alabama in search of the roots of his father's unspoken history. What he discovers forces Kyle to face his own demons and embrace a truth that may lead to a soul releasing revelation in the face of the horror and the sadness of a dark family legacy. Praise for Sharecropper's Son: Don Houts - Men Reading Book Blog Review: "The Son of a Sharecropper's Son is the fifth book I've read from Tom Matthews, and as inferred by the title, it's a three-generational story. This is a very different murder mystery. Rather, it's about a man, Kyle Lee Bradley, who is already a husband and father, trying to tract his own family history as a means of understanding his own emotional struggles. After a dramatic incident, his psychologist suggests he take this journey. Kyle know his family's origins were in Alabama, that his grandfather had abruptly moved the family to Michigan, and then his own father migrated to California, completely cutting himself off from the family he left behind. Kyle's own father would talk about none of it, but he had become like his own abusive father. He had only run away geographically, but not emotionally. As a psychiatrist, I thought this story captured exactly what I do with patients when I do a psychic archaeological dig. The goal is not to find someone to blame, but to see patterns in the past so those patterns can be recognized in the present - and then managed differently. Matthews's insights are remarkable! This is a story worth reading - best done in a single session. Where's the murder and who was killed? You'll have to read the book to find out." Andrew McAllister - Amazon best selling author of Unauthorized Access: "Matthews generally thrills us with his prose and character with thrillers and mysteries. And it doesn't stop here. Sharecropper's Son has both thrills and mystery, but immersed in a tale of emotional strife and a journey to know oneself. Prepare yourself, this is a bumpy ride and when you read the last line my suspicion will be that you will reflect on your own life and take stock in who you are and where you came from. This is a must read!"
