Four men, four choices, four chances to take back their lives.Jackson, Denise's father realizes that he has never recovered from leaving the two loves of his life; painting and Lena.And heaven help the next woman who
runs across Lonnie, the serial cheater, who has no idea where to turn after being unceremoniously kicked to the curb by his wife. Ben, the self-made man, is stopped cold by a past he has been running from all his adult life.And Stephen, has to balance being open to the return of his
ex-wife while ensuring the well-being of his children against an unpredictable mother.The second installment of the "Homecoming" trilogy, "Measure of a Man" continues the story from the experience of the male characters in the
novel.It is the story of four men who face both the self-inflicted and unexpected challenges of their lives.Strong and masculine in its perspective, the story shows that a man isn't measured by his immediate circumstances but whether or not he can rise in spite of  them.



“Junie was an artist by nature. When he was younger he painted everything he saw and what he saw was the beauty in every moment. When he looked at a broken bottle on the street, Junie didn’t see shards of glass that endangered passers-by and uglied the landscape, he saw little prisms that colorfully reflected the light all around them.Junie would paint the pieces with such tender interpretation that it left one to wonder why more bottles weren’t left to lie broken and unguarded on the street.The mundane was exalted to the reverential in Junie’s paintings; brick buildings swayed, a lot overgrown with grass became a mosaic and buses were portrayed as mobile festivals, its inhabitants mixing and churning in colorful collision. “
