Overview

The book consists of a series of memoir pieces about my early life from childhood through school, college and law school and marriage. The book contains sketches of my two grandmothers, one Irish, one Yankee, my parents, including my father's traumas follow WWII, my two younger brothers, and vignettes about how I navigated through the narrow world into which I was born and ultimately escaped. The book deals with my Irish Catholic upbringing and how it crashed against my decision to marry a Jew. It vividly describes the circumscribed life I inherited and how I ultimately found a way out.
