Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. At ten years old, Patrick Santry fell through the ice on Lake Erie. A stranger pulled him out. That moment - the ground giving way, the hand reaching down, the fact that something held - became the lens through which he would understand his entire life. He grew up without a blueprint. An adoptive father he couldn't reach. A biological father he never knew. An undiagnosed neurological condition that made him process the world differently from everyone around him. No roadmap. No clear path. Just the need to keep moving. THIN ICE is the story of how he built an identity anyway - not by following a model, but by constructing one piece by piece from what he survived and what he chose. From the dojo to the Army. From a plant floor to a technology career built at two in the morning. From a near-fatal beating to a marriage, a family, and a platform that took his daughters from Girard, Pennsylvania to Hollywood red carpets. From undiagnosed autism to a diagnosis in his forties that finally named what he'd been navigating his whole life. This is a memoir for men who grew up without fathers to follow. For anyone told they'd amount to nothing and had to prove otherwise. For people rebuilding after the ground gave way. For parents trying to do better than what they were given. For anyone who has ever felt slightly out of step with the world and didn't know why. Santry writes with the clarity of a systems architect and the honesty of someone who has stood on uncertain ground more than once. His story is specific - Erie, Pennsylvania; the lower east side; the Jonas Brothers era; prostate cancer; a plane's exploding engine over the Caribbean - but the questions it asks are universal: What does it mean to be a man without a blueprint? How do you build a life when no one handed you the instructions? What holds when everything else gives way? There is no lower environment for life. You go live and figure it out. This is how one man did. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
