Harvey, LA Author Publishes Memoir

The Gift of Fatherhood, a new book by Travis Johnson, PhD, LPC, LAC, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

The Gift of Fatherhood is a chronicle of the author's experiences raising his three biological sons, the success that was achieved by his sons, and looks into the fact that so many young African American males do not succeed at such a level. It highlights many protective factors that parents can take away regarding the promotion of effective parenting and reveals a sense that good parenting involves a large amount of support and interactions with kids.
