The Misadventures of a Misspent Youth: A Memoir

The author was born by parents with divergent backgrounds the father from poor protestant and Irish Catholic parents and the mother with a genteel Southern Plantation heritage. He enters life in the Roaring 20's when the times were good and grows up in the depression of the 1930's recounting life in a big city - the good, the bad, the humorous and the sad that many families endeared. However, his independent and devilish nature will show that the Huckleberry Finn and Dennis the Menace types are alive and well and don't just exist in fiction form.
