Overview

From his earliest memories of living in the small towns of Iredell, North Carolina Tate Barkley's happiest moments came from his Grandmother's house and the big Sunday Dinners she would host as a reward for getting everyone to church. Those were the days when he felt loved and seen before everything changed in a tug of love between families. Then he met Tate senior, the man he would discover was his biological father. He worshipped Tate even though the man was a dreamer who would disappear for months at a time while chasing the elusive sure thing. As young Tate grew, the two men shared a disease that would almost kill one and would be denied by the other. Descended from a matriarchal moonshiner, the two were alcoholics and drinking buddies until the younger had no choice but to become sober. But Tate Barkley had another more shameful secret he was sure would drive his father away forever. This is a southern boy's story of surviving in a good ole boys' world as he fought his way to accept his true self with or without his father's love.
