Esau My Son is about learning how to support, nurture, and educate, the child you were not expecting to be yours. "Darling, sweetheart, honey bunch, our people become doctors, lawyers, CPA’s. We don’t join the Marine Corps!" This is a profound journey of appreciation where we all learn that not everything of value in this life can be measured on a cognitive learning profile.
