Synopsis
This is a memoir of the experiences of a young boy in Parochial School during the late 1920s and early 1930s. The impacts of the Depression and Prohibition joined to create a dysfunctional home life. With bills pressing and no income, mother went off to New York City to become a clerk in Stern's Dept. Store on 34th Street.The Sisters of St. Joseph in a four-room school in the boy's small village in Western New York became a guiding lifeline. Loving neighbors helped fill a frequently empty stomach.
