Publisher's summary

Becoming Charlie is a revealing and unguarded look into the ordinary and extraordinary experiences of a boy from the bayou on his journey while holding onto the reins of life. Charlie Monlezun, the third of ten children, interweaves tale after tale of family, friendships, hardships, and harmonies. As an offering to his granddaughter at the onset of her own journey, Charlie recounts major and minor moments that shaped the person he is. His easy, relatable style gives each of us opportunities to reflect on events of our own lives and the ways we integrate and navigate through them in our own act of living. Charlie has channeled all that he has known to share his lessons of courage, resilience, wonder, and enduring love.

Storytelling extraordinaire

Charles Monlezun weaves a compelling narrative about his life and his family and his heritage. This is a rich tale about growing up in a large family in the Cajun country of southwestern Louisiana. The story is told to his yet unborn granddaughter so she will have a deep understanding of her roots and the context of her ancestry. Filled with both poignant and humorous tales, Charles sums up each tale with an important life lesson he hopes his granddaughter will embrace someday. I wholeheartedly recommend this title to anyone who is drawn to a strong work ethic, family values and who embraces the importance of our cultural heritage.
