This is an awesome story, of an ordinary young 12 yr old little boy, whose, wicked, yes, I said wicked, stepmother, ( his mother died 12 hrs after his baby brother was born) didn't like him, hated him, tried to starve him, rejected him, made him eat in a room by himself instead of with the family, etc. She was so conniving, that she sought out a crack doctor, who was doing lobotomies, he looks and acts, from the prose I read, and picture I saw, a lot like Dr. Jack Kevorkian...I'm serious! he would even take 2 pictures during the brain surgery, of the "ice picks" in the 'victim's head, thru the eye sockets...Yes, the picture is included.They farmed the boy out the rest of his life to various homes, and an institution or 2.The book is captivating, to hear how unbalanced, unloved and sad a life he lived, for over 40 yrs...then, at the end, well, I will not tell you, but it has a very good ending.I feel like I know Howard Dully, and thank him for sharing this life story .he is a very good writer too...I could not hardly put this book down, I read it, even though it is a full size hardback book, in 2 days of free time I had.I promise you, you will truly enjoy this book!
