Sinopsis

About the Author:Walter, whoálost both parents to tuberculosis, is a nationally registered respiratory therapist.áHe also holds two masterâÇÖs degrees from Monterey Institute of International Studies on the California Coast peninsula of Monterey, Carmel (International Studies & Public Administration).áStudents there are required to enter with a language other than their own, as they are taught in the foreign language.áBesides his academic studies, he trained with Chinese Master James Wing Woo, attaining a credentialed letter from him to teach the martial arts of Gung Fu and Tai Chi Chuan after fifteen years of training.áHe carries a bullet in his hip and a knife scar on his throat and attributes his survival to his Chinese training.áHe looks forward to further publishing, including a collection of street poetry and is inspired by those who struggle to maintain their integrity through life.áWalter currently resides in Los Angeles, California.In a confrontation with his past, the author reveals this heart-wrenching depiction of childhood in a New York City multicultural orphanage during the nineteen fifties.áFunds were scarce and discipline severe.áHe describes the relationships between the orphans, the counselors, the nuns, and the priests, with an emphasis on how it shaped his life.áAs he grows and moves through various houses into his teenage years, the orphanage is faced with a surge of gang members.áHe befriends a Puerto Rican his own age, which ultimately leads them both to follow his friendâÇÖs brother, a heroin pusher and addict, into Spanish Harlem just at the beginning of the civil rights movement.áHis account entails descriptions of ghetto life there and in BrooklynâÇÖs Williamsburg district as well,áunderlining the devastating effects from the separation of his Irish-American family and siblings.ááWhile awaiting his next group of students in an empty classroom ináSouth Korea, Walter James attempted to remember his past in an orphanage.áTheáexperiences that surfaced put him in a rage.áHe knew then that he had to confront his past and exorcize his demons.áThisábook, which began as a psychological self-study, became the emotional account of his story, and took him to places he never thought he would visit again.
