In Vanishing Fathers , author Jamie Truman lifts the lid on a nationwide crisis: the startling number of young men and women whose fatherless childhood leads to lives of poverty, homelessness, addiction, crime, incarceration, and even suicide. Truman, cofounder with husband, Jerry, of the charity organization Truman's Charities, makes the case that without the guiding hand of a good father, many children are more likely to fail academically and socially and become easy prey for drug pushers and sex traffickers. But the book's most dynamic impact is the gripping stories of individuals who have overcome early trauma to lead successful lives and often become advocates for those in similar circumstances. People like rock star Art Alexakis of the band, Everclear; renowned NFL player Justin Pugh; celebrity chef Ashish Alfred; and international humanitarian Victor Marx. Each story in its own way reflects the challenges children face when a birth dad is absent through death, divorce, or abandonment while providing inspiration that adversity can be conquered and lives transformed. In Vanishing Fathers , Truman encourages young men to become fathers who give the gift of a loving home to their kids and embolden them to explore and take risks secure in the knowledge their parents are an unwavering source of support and guidance. Truman's goal is for Vanishing Fathers to help young men understand their important role in society. She also wants to help provide opportunities for young adults, which is why all proceeds will go to charities providing opportunities for at-risk youth.
