This was one of those books that I was sorry to see end. It's full of fascinating characters; some wonderful-some jerks. Moehringer survived an impoverished childhood and an absent father by surrounding himself with a whole group of "father-figures", the denizens of a neighborhood bar.Not only does he learn how to be a man, he sees the type of man he does NOT want to emulate.

Do yourself a favor and read it. It's all there-charm,heartbreak,humor and hope.
