I Never Sang For My Father

$20.00

In 1971, nineteen-year-old Paul hits the Hippie Trail — not seeking enlightenment but escaping a dominating show business father he can’t please and can’t stop needing. Through Bali, Malaysia and into India, he tests every identity available: traveller, outlaw, lover, seeker. None fit.

Betrayed by someone he trusted, he makes choices he isn’t proud of that put him in grave danger. Comedy meets tragedy as moral lines blur then sharpen as the first hints of wisdom take hold. Near the journey’s end, an unexpected encounter with his father forces a reckoning neither of them was prepared for.

I Never Sang for My Father is a literary memoir told across two timelines — the nineteen-year-old experiencing the journey, and the man he became understanding its cost. It is not a reconciliation story. It is something harder and more honest than that.
