Rooted in two vastly different cultures, a young man struggles to understand himself, find his place in the world, and reconnect with his mother—and her remote tribe in the deepest jungles of the Amazon rainforest—in this powerful memoir that combines adventure, history, and anthropology.“My Yanomami family called me by name. Anyopo-we. What it means, I soon learned, is ‘long way around’: I’d taken the long way around obstacles to be here among my people, back where I started. A twenty-year detour.”For much of his young life, David Good was torn between two vastly different worlds. The son of an American anthropologist and a tribeswoman from a distant part of the Amazon, it took him twenty years to embrace his identity, reunite with the mother who left him when he was six, and claim his heritage.The Way Around is Good’s amazing chronicle of self-discovery. Moving from the wilds of the Amazonian jungle to the paved confines of suburban New Jersey and back, it is the story of his parents, his American scientist-father and his mother who could not fully adapt to the Western lifestyle. Good writes sympathetically about his mother’s abandonment and the deleterious effect it had on his young self; of his rebellious teenage years marked by depression and drinking, and the near-fatal car accident that transformed him and gave him purpose to find a way back to his mother.A compelling tale of recovery and discovery, The Way Around is a poignant, fascinating exploration of what family really means, and the way that the strongest bonds endure, even across decades and worlds.

Such an amazing story which details David's search from childhood into early adulthood trying to discover himself and reconcile the two worlds from which he comes. David does a great job in covering his heartbreaking journey from feeling abandoned by his Yanomama Amazon mother as a child. In great depth, he shares the struggles he faced growing up, the resentments he felt towards his mother, the lack of support he received from his somewhat distant and aloof father, to the struggles he felt with not being a "normal" American kid. David is very transparent in sharing how his struggles led to problems with alcohol, drugs, school problems, and relationship failures. You can feel his pain and heartache come alive on the pages. His book thoroughly covers the story of how his father worked in the Amazon and came to marry his mother and bring her to the U.S. It explains the struggles his mother faced and how she eventually came to return to the Amazon and leave her three children behind. My favorite sections of the book are when David decides to seek reconciliation with his mother and sets off in search of her deep in the Amazon jungle. The new insights and understanding he gains among his people in the Amazon leads his to a place of acceptance, forgiveness, and understanding. He goes even further and begins to fall in love with his people and comes to appreciate their unique way of life. He finally finds the acceptance and love he spent so long searching for. In essence, by going back to his "roots" which he ran from for so long, he finally finds a sense of identity and "who he really is". I enjoyed every minute of this book and highly recommend this book. I hope that David writes a follow-up book in the future on the progress of "The Good Project" organization he started to help indigenous tribes around the globe.
