<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"[This book] is the powerful story of those eight hours, during which Elder finally confronted his father. It is the story of one extraordinary, all-day conversation between Elder and his long-estranged father that utterly transformed their relationship. It is the story of one man discovering a son he never really knew. And of the son finding a man, a friend, a father who had been there all along"--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"I hated my father--really, really hated him. I hated working for him and I hated being around him. I hated it when he walked through the front door at home. And we feared him from the moment he pulled up in front of the house in his car.</b><b>" </b> <p/>So writes conservative firebrand and popular radio host Larry Elder. For ten years Elder and his father did not talk to each other. <p/>When they finally did, the conversation went on for eight hours--eight hours that took Elder on his father's journey from the Jim Crow South, to service in the Marine Corps, to starting a business in Southern California. <p/>Elder emerged not just reconciled with his dad, but admiring him, and realizing that he had never fully known him or understood him. <p/>Heartfelt, beautifully written, compulsively readable, <i>A Lot Like Me</i>--originally published as <i>Dear Father, Dear Son</i>--is both a powerfully affecting memoir and a personal, provocative slice of American history.
