My Moms and Me William Francis Jack

An atmospheric 1950's coming-of-age story about a quirky orphan in seventh-grade living in vacant buildings with his grandfather while attending a ritzy private Catholic military school. At first, he's convinced that a monsignor's sexual abuse won't spoil his bizarrely fun life. After all, a kid's gotta be tough...but, is he "tough enough"? He walks a crooked line between his bliss and agony. [Available in paperback and ebook format.] The author was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, in 1945 and lived in city public housing from second grade to fifth grade. He knows a bit about Catholic education: He attended three Catholic grade schools, graduated from Catholic military high school, and received a masters degree from a Catholic college.
