Publisher's Note
The critically acclaimed author of Now It's Time to Say Goodbye offers a thoughful biography of his father's tumultuous childhood and youth, describing his childhood in a poverty-stricken Long Island home with an abusive mother and alcoholic father, his move to his uncle's farm in upstate New York, and his difficult choice between his broken family and his future.

Industry reviews
"A childhood you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy...."
Kirkus Reviews  (09/15/2003)

"If [Peck] reminds you of anyone here, it's Steinbeck--in the restrained lushness of his style as much as in the ragged-trousered subject matter....The story does court--and sometimes kiss--sentimentality. But it is finely done, with enough bleakness and backbone that the author more than gets away with it....And did this book move me, sometimes to the edge of tears? Yes."
Literary Review  (02/01/2004)
