Full of depth. There, He’s Crying by Ken Magill is a multidimensional memoir. I could feel the author’s heart through the words. You’ll learn about the author, Ken Magill, his childhood and personal hardships and triumphs he’s experienced. 9/11, transgenderism, growing up with a tough dad… It’s a wide array of topics that Magill hits in the book, but he does it well.
I love memoirs so picking this book up was a no-brainer for me. I was drawn to the sense of humor that you could already sense just from the front and back covers of the book. I found myself feeling that I could relate to him, and as much as I love reading other people’s perspectives, it was compelling. I’m glad I opened this one up. Sometimes it was difficult to read because I found myself feeling a little emotional! But I like a challenge. This book can be seen as an exploration of heavy themes. It’s absolutely worth picking up, you might just read something that’ll change your mind.

There, He’s Crying: A Memoir
Ken Magill grew up in a time where kids played “guns” all day and no one batted an eye. They had crab-apple wars and shot tennis-ball cannons at each other. In summer, they went out in the morning and 
their mostly stay-at-home moms had no idea where they went or what they were doing.
Magill’s mercurial, violent, loving, and hilarious father was a vicious debater and a take-no-prisoners competitor who helped him develop the strength to overcome challenges as an adult.
There, He’s Crying is alternately laugh-out-loud funny, heart-warming and disturbing.
A gripping, first-hand account of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center will make you feel like you’re there.
Magill, a cigar-smoking, martini-drinking, gun-enthusiast, demonstrates love and sacrifice for a son who has declared himself a transgender woman. The email exchange between the two who clearly love one another but are 180-degrees apart will make this book worth your time.
Ultimately, There, He’s Crying is about knowing when to make life-altering decisions and dive into the unknown.
