BOOK REVIEW:

I will admit, I wasn't sure what this book was going to be about. Being raised Catholic, even though my beliefs don't lie there some of them rear their heads at times. But, after reading this book I was pleased that I could be empathetic with the author. He has had a very tough path, riddled with doubt, anger and resistance. But, he overcame and seems to have come to terms with his life. I really enjoyed it.
