Praise for Antwone's books!
"Finding Fish reads like a great work of fiction, moving me alternately to tears and laughter, sorrow and joy, and making me forget at times that the story is astonishingly true" - Denzel Washington
"Antwone Fisher has never hesitated to share the valuable lessons he's learned in life, and his latest book presents a collection of great advice from which all young men can benefit. In A Boy Should Know How To Tie a Tie, Fisher examines self worth and identity, and explores what it means to live as a man of grace and purpose. He illustrates that, while self image and personality are created on the inside, the way he presents himself on the outside reflected a man's character. This is an important bit of truth, and I urge young men everywhere to read Fisher's compelling guide to manhood." - President Bill Clinton
