Description
This book is a memoir about the happy childhood of a Catholic boy who grew up in the 1950s in Pittsburgh. It presents the memories of "Buddy" Maloney of his family and the North Point Breeze neighborhood, his friends and what they did together. It describes going to school, with episodes from Kindergarten to Eighth Grade, and remembers the nuns who taught at Holy Rosary School. It presents the centrality of "Church" in the family's life, with episodes about parish life and worship including the priests, their spiritual leaders.
Neither a documentary nor a work of fiction, these are the memories of a six to twelve-year-old child, honestly told for the enjoyment of the reader. The author, now a seasoned scholar and professor of Sacred Scripture, makes some terse commentary, some seventy years after the events occurred. With these charming episodes and descriptions of bygone days, Br. Elliott Maloney, OSB, hopes to stimulate some good conversation about past times and on how we raise our children today.
