On My Own

""In the first, of a three-book anthology, Earl LeClaire relates events of an early childhood which eventually leads to leaving home at fifteen on a motorcycle and just enough cash to see him through. What he lacked in guidance from parents, and growing up in an Italian culture, was made up for by devoted friends, teachers, and the books he read that told of a world beyond lobstering off the coast of Rhode Island. On My Own will serve as an inspiration to teenagers who feel they face insurmountable barriers."" ruth weiss, ""Last Train Out"", ""Desert Journal"", ""Cant Stop the Beat"".
