The Three Doctors-Drs. Sampson Davis, George Jenkins, and
Rameck Hunt-discovered early in their friendship that they
shared one disturbing trait: As children, they had to
navigate life in inner-city Newark without a father's
support and guidance. While each young man dealt with the
turmoil caused by an absent father, with no male role model
to turn to for advice, each veered dangerously close to a
life of delinquency, drugs, and crime. But despite great
odds, the three overcame the statistics. In high school,
they formed the Pact, a promise to one another that they
would become doctors, and it kept them dedicated to one
another and to their dream, and helped to put them on the
road to successful careers as physicians.
In The
Bond, the Three Doctors plumb their own tough childhoods
to explore the national epidemic of fatherlessness. But
rather than cling to any bitterness or pain they may have
felt as children about their fathers' inability to be in
their lives, as adults Davis, Jenkins, and Hunt sought out
their fathers and worked to reconnect with them. In the
doctors' own words-and their fathers'-they describe the
crucial lessons they learned, identifing ways to stem the
tide of fatherlessness that's sweeping through communities
across the country. Honest, brave, and poignant, The
Bond is a book for every family, every father, and every
man.
