Query: Truth be told

Joshua Bland is not a man to be envied. However, we as readers of his life, may, indeed learn something. Disadvantaged in ways most of us never will be, Bland is brutal in his self assessment. Today, as psychoanalyzed as we are, we would perhaps not be as harsh. I read this very carefully, felt the pain, winced at parts and, foremos,t admired the honesty of emotion and regret. An easy read? No, a worthy one, yes.
