Men of The State

Anthony's life was fixed on breaking the chains of family and societal trauma. He found meaning and purpose in his life as an educator and activist. That was until he became a father.

Anthony finds himself trapped in the New York State juvenile prison system as a means to provide for his new family. His dedication to being a freedom fighter is lost along with his sense of self, his relationships, and his career.

Losing himself emotionally, spiritually, and physically, Anthony struggles to stay alive as he swims in the toxic masculinity he swore to leave behind.

In this realistic fictional drama, author B. A Liberatore interrogates frameworks of manhood and the confinements that induce internal turmoil the modern man faces. Men of The State is the first book in a series of three that normalizes the male experience and shows that vulnerability is not a weakness but a strength that should be embraced in our culture and family structures.

"Intense, frightening, gripping, and ultimately rewarding, this account compels the reader to follow one man's journey of self-discovery" through the author's "uncompromising honesty and genuine quest for truth."
