Publisher's Summary: ...a rite-of-passage novel that follows a seven-year-old’s first communion preparations and celebration. Throughout the four-day period the boy deals with cruel nuns, sadistic babysitters, his mother’s unfortunate accident, a drunken father, plus a pedophile or two, but he finds a way to cope in the midst of so much tragedy - first by indifference, later by defiance and rebellion.
