VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Amos Lassen, who is a Top 100 Book Reviewer for Amazon, has given Michael Cavicante's autobiography A Father's Double Life the ultimate compliment by quoting, "I laughed and cried as I read and not many books can make me do that."
That seems to be the general consensus from anyone and almost everyone who has read this magnificent and brilliantly told story that will take the reader on an emotional roller coaster.
Mr. Lassen goes on to say in his review, "The literary quality of this book is sound and beautifully written. It will keep you reading, even when you feel you must stop."
What makes this mesmerizing memoir unique are over thirty pictures of the author's immediate family and childhood friends, as well as a beautiful photo of historic Beale Street in Downtown Memphis, which is where the story takes place. The photographs add a special touch and help the reader to really connect to the characters and places.
The major plot point of the story, and therefore hence its title, is how Michael's father comes across as a hard-working family man and devoted husband, but yet acts out his own sexual compulsions on his precious twelve-year-old son while the kid's mother is sick in a hospital bed.
As Michael goes into a downward spiral and his young life is turned upside down, his mother eventually discovers her husband's horrific transgressions, after which his siblings are taken out of the home and put into foster care. During that time, Michael reluctantly is forced to grow up fast while experimenting with drugs, alcohol and also has hilarious experiences with different females that you must read to really appreciate and enjoy.
The bottom line is this: A Father's Double Life is a must-read for people of all ages, genders, races, etc. It is an inspirational story for anyone who has dealt with sexual molestation, rape, incest, or better yet, for anyone looking for a great story to read, as this book is a definite page-turner. (Due to some of the graphic content, parental discretion is advised as to whether your child is mature enough to handle the material covered in this masterful work.)
A Father's Double Life is available in paperback, hardcover and e-book on most online retailers including Amazon and Barnesandnoble. You may also visit its Fan Page on Facebook to read excerpts as well as other reviews from people who have read this novel.
