My Son - I Am Andrew Tye

My Son

The year is 1899.

Beneath the stained glass windows of a New York City cathedral

an anonymous young man begins to write.

Journal entries that narrate an unspeakable childhood trauma.

Poems that tell of an epic journey toward faith.

My Son depicts a man in the essentially human process of healing

and honors the classic literature that made such a book possible.
