What if, when it came to marriage and raising kids, you felt like the only one who never got the manual?

Clifton Powell, the award-winning actor who’s appeared in over 100 films and countless television shows, lost his mother at age four and was raised by a father who was dealing with his own struggles. But what if one day, a stranger handed you a book that changed the way you saw everything, Would you dismiss the experience as a fluke and keep it moving? Or would you consider the possibility that it might be the guidebook for life that you’d always wanted?
