The O'Connell Boy: Educating "The Wolf Child" is a vivid memoir that tells of the author's Irish-American youth in a group foster home operated by a strict "lace curtain" Irish widow. He spends his high school years with his Irish granny "on the other side of the tracks."

"Tom O'Connell connects with readers soul to soul." Jordan Rich, WBZ Radio, Boston
