Review of 12th & McGraw

12th & McGraw is Forrest Haskell's incredible account of his childhood as the son
of a Detroit racketeer. Not only did he have to learn to survive in a world of corruption
and violence, but he had to cope with the fact that his father had two families--two wives
and two sets of children. Despite tremendous insecurities that constantly haunted him and
a life long identity crisis, Forrest loved his father and it shows throughout this fine
debut work. Definitely a book you'll want to put on your summer reading list.
