Wow; this book starts out all lightweight. You think it's going to be a big romp taking the pee out of the gypsies, but it soon turns dark & just keeps getting darker, The only good news is that Mikey survives, as is evidenced by this book. No child should ever have to live through what he did. Gripping.

This book affected me profoundly. I found myself entwined in the authors struggle to separate from a profound family disconnect due to his homosexuality, exacerbated by the strict cultural norms of the Gypsies. As he struggles to establish himself as a person, find love and acceptance,and develop his own path in life he endures extreme poverty, loneliness and many unsavory and untrustworthy characters. He becomes more able to trust his own experiences and beliefs and build a better life. Each experience proves a stepping stone to build better choices and the ability to make better decisions for the future. As time goes along he finds the courage to return to his family and challenge old situations, and even endanger himself to be able to protect other family members, though not being appreciated for it. Mikey Walsh (a pseudonym)leaves us as an amazing person, who is poised for many better things to come. He certainly deserves them!… (more)
