Who Will Cry For the Little Boy? Antwon Fisher


This collection of poems by Antwone Fisher is inspiring and emotional. The poems relate to his memoir, Finding Fish. I have used many of these with clients in therapy and had several requests for copies to keep or provide to others. The growth of this inspiring gentleman from the terror he came from can be seen in both the memoir and this poem book. Both are highly recommended for every person and counseling room to use as tools!

Finding Fish by Antwone Quenton Fisher

One of the most inspiring books you can read! This memoir goes through Antwone's life in many struggles and success in adulthood. The ugliness of foster care described in detail. You will laugh, cry, be encouraged to think, and at times feel angry. I recommend reading this memoir first and then watching the movie, which has a great cast including Denzel Washington. If you pick one book to read in the near future, this should be the one!
