Harlem Son

by Kevin Thorbourne

Kevin Thorbourne's gritty tale of growing up in New York is quite adventurous. A family's transition from a city dwelling to a move to the suburbs in the 1960's unfolds as they struggle to keep a piece of both lifestyles...A life filled with family dysfunction including mental illness, drug addiction and infidelity portrays this man's life, while he never is absent from the political scene of all African Americans during these times.

Kevin relives police brutality, Black nationalism and the birth of black power in the early 60's on both the streets of New York as well as the national scene. Thorbourne's personal journey encounters teen years in the 70's where his family life crumbled causing him to fall to the darkest part of his life. His story is filled with love, lust and an addictive personality. Coming into manhood in the 80's turned this man's life around and fatherhood changed him forever.
