“You need to learn a lesson about parentin’, son. A father, he has a responsibility to give his kids roots and wings. I failed you, Willie. I gave you wings, I never gave you roots. Don’t repeat my mistake. Let Freddie follow the trail of his people. Let him come visit me and his grandmama’s grave. Give him roots.” Will’s head sank into his hands. Too late, Dad. Too late to give him anything.
Every day Will sinks deeper into his lie.
