The Fatherless Road: The Story of Jerome is a raw and unforgettable coming-of-age novel that traces the emotional journey of Jerome—a teenage boy growing up without a father in the unforgiving streets of the city.
Struggling to fill the silence left by a man he's never met, Jerome is pulled into a dangerous underworld where respect is earned in blood and loyalty comes with a price. But when tragedy strikes and the streets threaten to swallow him whole, Jerome must decide: Will he become the man the world expects—or the one he was born to be?
Written with gripping authenticity and heart, Brad Wilder provides more than a story—it's a lifeline for young Black men navigating life without a roadmap. Perfect for fans of The Coldest Winter Ever, Monster, and The Hate U Give, this book is a mirror and a window into the reality so many face—and the courage it takes to escape it.
For every boy who’s ever sat across from an empty seat at the table—this is your story.
