Finally, a story with a beginning, middle and end which will knock the bobby socks off every reader, leaving many humbled. Clishams delicate masterful behind the scenes interviewing skills have led Brennan to verbalize tale after tale of the touching torture of struggling to hold on; to just grow up in search of sanity. This first person expos pulls at ones heart strings through his lonely quiet plea and fear to maybe be noticed. Can a nobody become somebody? Can a failing student succeed? Can a stumbling reader survive in todays hustle for success? Can alcohol be a useful self-medication? Do Irish Catholic families toe the line of the Commandments? How does a potential Aspergers spectrum recluse carve out a personal niche without meds? Bill Brennans memoir will remind you sometimes of Huck Finn, sometimes of Forest Gump or sometimes even Salingers Holden Caufield as a geriatric. Clisham taps Brennans remarkably detailed, deeply private memories to share his sad story of staying safe from society. This literary gem honors all who struggle in the trenches of seeming to not measure up to the next guy or gal An Ending one will never see coming Spoiler ALERT. Do NOT tell your friends . . . let them take their own car ride with Justice of the Peace Vince Brennans kid, just plain Bill.
