Join Stan, as a young boy, in the mid-century charming town of Beacon, New York, on the Hudson River's shore. Experience the freedom, pranks, and mishaps of his adventures, but steel yourself to encounter his father, Phil, a sociopath who casts a shadow of turmoil and destruction over his family. Stan's mother, Lil, is near helpless to protect her children, but his older sister's strength and devotion guides him through Phil's pathology. Amid wonder, Phil's sudden decision to move to Texas rips apart the family fabric, leaving lifelong scars.

This poignant memoir shares Stan's boyhood joy and pain; triumph and loss, and, above all, his resilience.
