Winner of the 2023 Firebird Book Awards for Nonfiction and 2023 American Writing Awards, Literary Titan Gold Book Award Winner Anthony's father, Gerald Mohr, is a well-known radio actor before slipping to the Hollywood B-list thanks to the advent of television. Accepting the lead in a dying Swedish TV series, he falls for the script girl and divorces Mohr's mother, who goes on to meet and marry credit card industry pioneer Stanley Dashew. As his stepfather's career rises and his biological father's eases downward, Anthony tries to find his place. One weekend he's sailing on his stepfather's fifty-eight-foot catamaran; the next, his Swedish stepmother tells him that they're poor. Coming of age in a time when divorce is rare and viewed as shocking, Anthony lives at the edges of what others regard as a dream world, a place where reality and fantasy blend, maps lead to the homes of the stars, and obstacles abound.

I can't wait to see what he comes up with next." - Renée Thompson, author of The Plume Hunter and The Bridge at Valentine "Nobody understands the DNA of Southern California as well as Anthony J. Mohr, and no one better evokes the life of a post-war boy as he shuttlecocks between his father and his stepfather. Every Other Weekend brilliantly describes what Mohr calls 'the scary backwash of divorce.' Bring smiles and tissues. You'll need both." - Bob Levey, former columnist, The Washington Post "One could cut granite with Anthony Mohr's incisive, imagistic Every Other Weekend: Coming of Age With Two Different Dads . This memoir is profound in its distillation and delineation of memory, father and stepfather emerging from these pages as a result of Mohr's honed, crystalized prose." - Nathan Leslie, editor of Maryland Literary Review " Every Other Weekend is a true page-turner, a literary work that demands your undivided attention." - Literary Titan "Anthony Mohr's memoir will no doubt delight devotees of mid-century television and radio, as it is packed with insider details of card games, film sets, Oscar nights, and student life at Beverly Hills High School. The scenes and chapters devoted to his dad are a who's who of the era, with scores of famous names from Soupy Sales to James Garner." - Ruth Bonapace, reviewer at Hippocampus Magazine " Every Other Weekend is a well-written captivating memoir with vivid characters and descriptions of the author 'vicariously riding the Stan and Gerry roller coaster.'" - BookTrib "This is an authentic, well-written, and witty memoir, providing a glimpse into the world of celebrity and old Hollywood, through the eyes of a young boy. The book sensitively depicts the impact of parental separation, which will resonate with many readers." - Readers' Choice Book Awards ANTHONY J.
