The stage for An Everlasting Bond: The Story of a Father and His Son fluctuates between a community and a prison setting, between a father who is a therapist (Licensed Professional Counselor) and a former Parole Commissioner for the State of Texas and his son, Rolando, who is a three-time felon and an inmate in the Texas Prison System. The father-son bond which has been established between the father and Rolando during the three different times Rolando has been incarcerated in the Texas Prison System, in addition to his addiction to drugs are major elements of this story. This powerful and highly emotional narrative explores many of the elements of the son's drug addiction, which serve in destroying the family fabric. The numerous incidents and characteristics typical of drug addiction and the difficulties which the addict and his family suffer are also revealed. An Everlasting Bond: The Story of a Father and His Son also focuses on the emotional repercussions of Rolando's drug addiction and what his father, as an experienced mental health professional, feels leads to his son's drug addiction. The impact on the emotional, financial, and family resources, which this deplorable and devastating disease generates are discussed in detail. In addition, the everlasting bond established between Rolando and his father as a result of this long and arduous journey comprising of 43 detention facility incarcerations in different jails and prisons throughout the state of Texas are also a focal point of this narrative.
