Warren Spooner was born after a prolonged delivery in a makeshift
delivery room in a doctor's office in Milledgeville, Georgia, on
the first Saturday of December, 1956. His father died shortly
afterward, long before Spooner had even a memory of his face, and
was replaced eventually by a once-brilliant young naval officer,
Calmer Ottosson, recently court-martialed out of service. This is
the story of the lifelong tie between the two men, poles apart, of
Spooner's troubled childhood, troubled adolescence, violent and
troubled adulthood and Calmer Ottosson's inexhaustible patience,
undertaking a life-long struggle to salvage his step-son, a man he
will never understand.
