In this excerpt from The Road 2 Shambala: Exit 10, I present a reflection on the stakes of becoming godfather to my best friend's first child, Liam. Not having a godfather of my own as a point of reference, I see the role as more similar to that of an uncle, which, given my family history, is a dangerous proposition. Tracing the genetic narrative of betrayal and lies that has afflicted uncles with my name and likeness, I offer Liam and his parents a note of caution as they invite me into their lives.
