Every Other Weekend by Anthony Mohr is an enthralling narrative that transports readers to the vibrant backdrop of 1950s Los Angeles. However, this is not merely a tale of an ordinary teenager; it delves into the life of Judge Anthony Mohr, the son of Hollywood B-list actor, Gerald Mohr. Mohrâ��s memoir encapsulates the complexities of navigating life with two fathers â�" a situation far from commonplace in 1950s LA when divorce was a rarity.
Throughout this captivating book, Mohr vividly portrays the contrasting qualities of his two fathers. His biological father exudes charm and wit, enabling him to maneuver through life. Yet, this lifestyle belies the less-than-ideal quality of life he provides. In stark contrast, Mohrâ��s stepfatherâ�"a prominent figure in todayâ��s American business worldâ�"offered a different, more stable life for Mohr and his mother.
As the author humbly admits, he was not always caught at the crossroads of choosing between the two lives before him. Nevertheless, numerous teachable moments arose, ultimately shaping the trajectory of Mohr�s life. Every Other Weekend provides readers with a glimpse into this world, exposing the inner workings of a child who grew up among TV stars and business juggernauts, while also offering insights into the broader societal landscape of 1950s America.
It is nearly impossible to read this book without being in awe of Anthony Mohr�s masterful storytelling. The author�s craft is executed with a stylish finesse that keeps readers fully engrossed throughout. Seamlessly transitioning between past and present, Mohr skillfully interweaves personal anecdotes with meticulous research, ensuring that each paragraph is an essential thread in the rich tapestry of his narrative.
Every Other Weekend is a true page-turner, a literary work that demands your undivided attention. With each turn of the page, the reader is drawn deeper into Mohrâ��s world, swept away by his descriptive language and vivid imagery. Upon reaching the final sentence of the epilogue, readers are left with only one regretâ�"that the book was not longer. This memoir lingers in the mind, inviting contemplation and reflection long after the last page is turned. It is a testament to the power of self-discovery and family.
