PIECES of GLASS: Growing Up Catholic in the Fifties

Pieces of Glass: Growing Up Catholic in the Fifties, contains no horror stories of the Catholic Church. Instead, it chronicles the life of a little girl with her own thoughtful and often completely erroneous take on the world around her. She may only be a child, but she must deal with death, faith, rejection, failure and — most serious of all — sibling rivalry. By turn hilarious, poignant, and thought-provoking, this coming of age story is also warmly nostalgic, informed by a time and a way of living that no longer exists.
