A Story About Becoming

What shapes a person’s character?

Is it success? Failure? Family? Friendship? Faith? Sports? The choices we make when nobody is watching?

In A Boy Becoming: A Renewed Vision for a Kinder, Gentler World, Eddy Yang explores these questions through years of personal diary entries, drawings, reflections, and lessons gathered from childhood through adolescence.

This inspiring memoir follows Eddy’s journey from age ten to sixteen as he learns about kindness, humility, discipline, courage, gratitude, forgiveness, and self-understanding. Through experiences in school, hockey, family life, service, and faith, readers witness the gradual process of character formation that every young person experiences.

More Than a Memoir

This book is not about perfection.

It is about practice.

The practice of learning from mistakes.
The practice of facing fear and continuing forward.

Readers of all ages will find encouragement in Eddy’s honest reflections and thoughtful observations about growing up in today’s world.
