Path to Manhood

Path to Manhood is a moving coming of age novel about friendship, family, and finding your way. Set on the vibrant campus of an HBCU in Atlanta at the turn of the century, it explores the journey into adulthood through the eyes of four young men.

Jairus and his best friends, Ducron, Mike, and Ovaughn, come from different corners of life, but they are bound by brotherhood as they chase dreams, face heartbreak, and confront what it really means to become a man.

College tests more than their grades. The absence of strong role models, the weight of expectations, and the pull of love and loyalty will shape who they choose to be. Guided by strong women and tested by temptation and tragedy, these young Black men must decide: will they rise together or be pulled apart?

Perfect for readers who love:

• Stories about brotherhood and resilience
• Black coming of age stories
• Deep, character-driven drama on real life themes

Join Jairus and the friends who became family as they walk the path to manhood and find out who they were born to be.
