The Father Fracture by Pam Pinnock.

Now, I am not a big fan of Mike Tyson, so anyone who is, is of little interest to me. I only ordered the book because I heard the author on the radio one morning talking about how Mike Tyson used to keep his ex wife Robin Givens dirty underwear in a ziploc bag. I must admit this was interesting, so I went on line to get the book,and besides I'm a fan of Robin Givens . The author was also referred to as being a Karrine Steffans want to be. After reading the book I didnt get that impression at all. But once I read the book and learned how this girl had been through hell. I finished the book in two days.

I recommend this book for men and women. There's a man or woman you can relate to on every page. The book takes you on a journey from abuse to the glam and glitz of the red carpets of hollywood. I also got a great deal of insight on what publicist do. Since the author is a well known publicist there were pictures of her and Ludacris, Star Jones, Magic Johnson. Mostly, I learned that not having a father in your life can really mess you up. The author went through a lot with and without her father. I gave my copy to a high school student at the time, I was mentoring. I really felt this book would help her with peer pressure. Statistic show that 40% of teenage girls experience abuse while dating. With that being said, I recommend this book for teenage boys and girls. Great book to read. Easy read. It will make you think twice about dating a man who is known to be abusive.
