Publisher's summary

Ride the waves of feelings as Andy Junior shares his powerfully emotional experiences with his family of limited means and the crushing moment his childhood was abruptly interrupted. Discover the fear and heartache of abandonment thrust upon two very young and innocent brothers when they were placed in the care of the Polish community of nuns at the St. Joseph Home for Boys in 1960. From the eyes of a frightened youngster, Andy details the captivating events of his journey and the challenges he endured during his five years at the orphanage. Keep a box of tissues nearby for an abundance of tears from the heartache and laughter that will likely have those around you wondering what you are listening to.

While sadness prevailed during Andy's earliest encounters within the orphanage, he maintained an abundance of humor and stole opportunities for fun and adventures whenever possible. If anybody knew how to stay on the wrong side of the nuns throughout his earlier years in "the dungeon", he most assuredly was found guilty far too often. Pity the poor priest who had to sit through Andy's litany of sins shared during his First Confession.

Learn of all the goodies the sisters kept up their huge sleeves and prepare to find out who had the cleanest mouth in all of Jackson, Michigan. While Andy imparts the deep sadness and fun times felt throughout his days in the orphanage, you will also gain the opportunity to learn from the lessons he reveals throughout the story. Discover how a scared and sometimes troublesome lad finds his true self.
