Produktbeschreibung
From the West Side of Chicago to the quiet clarity of adulthood, The Man I Needed is a raw, intimate memoir about growing up without a father and learning to become the man you wished you had. Dionte Hackler shares an honest, unfiltered journey through childhood uncertainty, heartbreak, friendship, racism, athletic triumphs, and the slow, painful work of healing old wounds. Along the way, he discovers purpose, self-worth, and the courage to create the love, stability, and identity he was never given. Told with vulnerability and sharp reflection, this memoir is a tribute to resilience-and to the people we become despite the things we didn't have. It's for anyone who had to grow up fast, anyone who carried pain quietly, and anyone who's ever tried to build a life better than the one they came from. A memoir about breaking cycles, reclaiming identity, and becoming the man you needed.
