The Macho Man Chronicles: Volume 3
The Macho Man Chronicles has never really been about being macho.
It's about the stories men collect while they're busy living-playing ball, hunting deer, raising kids, loving dogs, serving their country, surviving marriage, making questionable decisions, and turning ordinary life into something worth telling over a beer.
In The Macho Man Chronicles: Volume 3, Rob Whaley returns with ten stories-and one hidden bonus-from a life that rarely goes according to plan.
From the glory days and unwritten rules of a small-town Michigan baseball dynasty to hunting camps, family legends, Navy memories, the loss of two beloved dogs, and the dark comedy of a marriage coming apart and unexpectedly finding its way back together, Whaley finds humor in the places where life leaves a mark.
Some of these stories are true. Some are exaggerated. All of them are honest.
Funny, irreverent, nostalgic, and occasionally raw, Volume 3 blends memoir, creative nonfiction, and good old-fashioned storytelling into tales of friendship, family, dogs, divorce, masculinity, aging, and starting over.
There are no ten steps to becoming a better man here. No inspirational program. No promise that everything happens for a reason.
Just stories.
And underneath every good laugh, usually a bruise.
