A follow up to his first book, Paterson Boy, this story collection continues the memoir of Jerry Vis, a city kid from Paterson, New Jersey, as he is packed off to a strict, religious boarding school in the rural South of the 1950s.

“Deeply moving and hilarious attempts to make sense of life, faith, friendship, romance, and a dysfunctional family.”

–Roberto Loiederman, co-author, The Eagle Mutiny

“From our first questions about religion to the awkward dawn of our budding sexuality, no one can escape the unwelcome realization that our families just may be the reason we’re all crazy.”

–Stephen Kellogg, musician and author of Objects in the Mirror

“Jerry Vis’ experiences will make you laugh and touch your heart. A delightfully entertaining read of adventures, both real and imagined.”

–Anne Carlucci, Film Producer, Who Killed JonBenét?
