Kevin Young honors his father, J.D.—a larger-than-life man whose life was deeply rooted in family, faith, and place.  Raised in rural Mississippi and later drawn back toward the family home place, J.D. carried with him a deep appreciation for where he came from and the people who shaped him.

Through Kevin’s memories, we hear about a father who loved gathering people together, made others feel welcome, and treated people with a respect that became part of the family’s legacy.  This is a story about home, belonging, and the kind of steady love that continues to anchor a family across generations.
