This is a book about Tony who abandoned his son and daughter at age six because of the insanity TJ's mother, grandmother, and aunt put them through. Finally TJ and Tony can both agree that his mother is a hard woman to live with, and his aunt and grandmother are just as bad.
When TJ and Tony finally meet, it's a lot of back and forth conversation that leads to a lot of defensiveness. Tony thinks TJ wants a meaningful relationship, with a heart felt apology. TJ wants...well, I don't think TJ knows what he wants.
Throughout a big portion of the book, they share different parts of their lives with one another. In between almost every subject they come upon, they argue a bit. I wondered what would be Tony's breaking point, that he finally cut the conversation off and left.
TJ and Tony are interesting characters that seem very similar in personality and opinions, they just don't know that. Their dialogue was sometimes so choppy it was difficult to tell who was speaking.
