A man's life never unfolds like we expect, and co-authors Jerry Price and Tom Roy give you a glimpse into the real world of selfishness, missed expectations and a cascading series of events that bring reality front and center. Hold on as you dig into one man's story, his dreams, his pain and what it means to get a taste for an authentic journey toward manhood. Bob Chadwick has to deal with moments of being alone in his own proverbial woods, where the decision to be a man or remain in boyhood is frequently at hand. Where consequences are inescapable, from the choices he makes. Will Bob have his family of origin, peer groups, guys he's hung with, Budweisers, or living in secrecy be the measure of manhood? Does he reach deeper into a responsible love, when being alone in the woods is unavoidable? Where Bob's resolve is not to live in duplicity but to love others with accountability. How much can he take? Bob's life has been stranger than fiction. Joey, Bob's son, had just graduated from high school and signed a pro baseball contract with the Chicago White Sox. As a graduation gift, Bob planned a Canadian fishing vacation with him, but what was supposed to be a dream trip ended in a tragedy. Bob is now faced the painful task of returning to his wife Lois, without Joey. How would he explain the drowning? It was too much! He questioned if he had what it took to survive his grief, let alone console Lois. Bob Chadwick knew he needed help. ELLISON BAY tracks Bob's journey personifying the mystery of life, under insurmountable odds, and generational family failures. Watch how he works through issues of life, faith, women, and family to redeem his manhood.
