Return of the MisfitFor many years, Martin A. Bowman ignored the fact that he had a daughter.Then one day, the past caught up with him on a New York City sidewalk -- and he had to face the teenage girl he’d abandoned, the addiction he couldn’t outrun, and the man he’d become rather than the father he was supposed to be.Return of the Misfit is the true story of what happened next: a messy, hard-won journey back to the people he’d hurt most. Drawing on the biblical parable of the prodigal son -- and on his own decades of failure, sobriety, and hard-earned trust -- Martin shows what reconciliation costs and why it’s worth paying.This isn’t a tidy redemption story. It’s a field guide for anyone standing outside a relationship they broke, wondering whether they’re even allowed to knock. Through raw personal history and hard-won lessons on shame, forgiveness, listening, patience, and rebuilding trust, Martin offers a way back -- not just for prodigals, but for the families waiting (warily) on the other side of the door.Now a licensed chaplain and counselor with twenty years of walking others through crisis and recovery, Martin writes as someone who has been the misfit at the family reunion -- and found his way home anyway.If you’ve ever wondered whether a broken relationship can truly be repaired, start here!
