The Father: Chronicles of America’s Baby Daddy Book Two Bloodlines, Breakthroughs, and Becoming a Man
Eugene Bassham is a father of ten, a stand-up comedian, a public servant, and a relentless truth-teller. In his first book, he walked readers through the fire of childhood trauma and teen fatherhood. In this second volume, he dives into the decade where survival became strategy and heartbreak became holy ground.
With a background in emergency medicine, martial arts, and community outreach, Eugene’s life has never followed a script—except the one he’s writing in real time. From raising children across multiple households to healing invisible wounds, his story is raw, real, and rooted in hope.
Through the stage, the page, and the pulpit of life, Eugene speaks with a voice that refuses to whisper. He believes in breaking cycles, building villages, and turning pain into purpose—one punchline, one prayer, and one page at a time.
Follow his journey online and in person. And if you ever see him live, just know: the story is still being written—and you might become part of it.

Set beneath the streetlights of Nashville, The Father: Chronicles of America’s Baby Daddy – Book Two is a poetic, prophetic memoir forged in struggle and laced with survival. It is not a cry for sympathy — it's a declaration of growth, grit, and grace. This is for the fathers who stayed. The sons who never saw one. And the children who deserved more than both.
