[A] poignant and insightful account.""—<em>New York Times</em><br /><br />""Pearson’s stories . . . have about them not only the cherished patina of memory but also the wry recollection that the things we remember aren’t always the way things were. . . . His language is sure and supple.""—<em>Booklist</em>

In this memoir, Pearson renders time and place vividly through lyrical narrative and generous spirit toward his characters, juxtaposing descriptions of adolescent escapades with the grim discipline of parochial schools. In this Bronx, dreams of escape fuse with bittersweet memories.
