At 14,Tony meets Lilly,husband and small child. Lilly and her husband mentor Tony in catholic study.Lilly and 14 yr old Tony have a brief affair.Lilly's husband takes young Tony across England to a small island Monastery.Young Tony meets Father Joe who is very understanding,takes Tony under his wing,becomes a lifelong Father figure to Tony.The story has its up s and downs,but Father Joe is a constant part of the story of Tony's life.I liked the story,but wished it was more about Father Joe and not Tony and his life struggles.This is my first review.
I found this memoir, written by Tony Hendra, to be very moving and real. Meeting Father Joe was truly the most pivotal moment and truly shaped his life. I found the ending to be extremely moving.
