Within
the pages of Vernon Ennels’ new book, There’s Something Your Son Needs
to Tell You ($21.99, hardcover,
9781545665206; $6.99, ebook, 9781545665213), readers will find a compelling
autobiography detailing childhood trauma against the backdrop of a
hypermasculine and religious upbringing. At six years old, one young boy’s life
changes forever.
Honest, raw, and completely
vulnerable, There’s Something Your Son Needs to Tell
You, being an autobiography, also
contains open letters from other young men who have similar traumatic
experiences.
In
writing There’s Something Your Son Needs to Tell You, Ennels’ goal is
“to encourage more boys and men to share their stories in hopes that we can
shed light on this epidemic,” he says. He hopes using the hashtag #SAVEOURSONS
will help spread awareness and spark change.
On
Vernon Ennels’ healing journey, he’s developed an intimate relationship with
God, sought counseling, and found his voice. He is on a mission to expose
sexual abuse where racism has led to toxic masculinity and silence around
sexual abuse.
