In \u003ci\u003eMissing Men\u003c\/i\u003e, a memoir that tells her mother's story as well as her own, Johnson constructs an equally unique self-portrait as she examines, from a woman's perspective, the far-reaching reverberations of fatherlessness. Telling a story that has shaped itself around absences, \u003ci\u003eMissing Men\u003c\/i\u003e presents us with the arc and flavor of a unique New York life--from the author's adventures as a Broadway stage child to her fateful encounters with the two fatherless artists she marries. Joyce Johnson's voice has never been more compelling.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53772400918801,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780670033102_2fbb33cd-72ae-4e8c-8656-afea36401d30.jpg?v=1783973493","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-missing-men-by-joyce-johnson","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
