PositiveBooklist...[a] highly readable memoir ... In episodes recounted like snapshots in an album, Tuten traces intimacies of a two-decade journey ... Along the way, he shares with wry observation, pathos, and an unflinching honesty the portrait of a young man ... Tuten’s gently self-deprecating yet humorous reflections cover the linked adolescent preoccupations with creative venturing and romantic/sexual adventuring ... In the end, Tuten’s achievement is in telling a story that is at once his own while also being universally familiar.

PositiveBooklist\"Rather than offering explanations, these stories thrive on closely observed details and moments told with both pathos and humor as characters confront the surprising twists and turns of love, sexual awakening, marriage, parenting, and decisions of life or death ... Power asks us to consider and appreciate the very human and humanizing experience of striving for something just out of reach, or for opportunities just passed by.\
