In this frank and moving memoir, the author recalls growing up in a poor and alcohol-ridden neighbourhood of a small city before and during World War II. Following his experiences after the war, the narrative relates the shattering of his mother's dreams and his own inability to bridge the gulf between himself and his alcoholic father. The account reveals how the protagonist never permitted his rocky beginnings to affect his hope for the future, portraying his journey to becoming a judge of the Superior Court of Ontario.
