Praise for this book

""My Father's Scar takes us deep into Andy Logan's mind and heart through finely crafted metaphor and visceral drama. Like Andy who loves literature and long runs, the prose of this book is both poetic and full of physical energy." --Francesca Lia Block
"Andy's voice is authentic, and he is surrounded by well-realized minor characters...intense, but blessed with flashes of humor." --"Library Journal
"Andy's growing awareness of his gayness is handled well, with action and dialogue revealing to reader what Andy hasn't full recognized in himself...emotionally satisfying...a sensitive tale." -"-Kirkus Magazine
