This is not just the story of one boarding school or one student’s prep school experience. Frank is a legendary storyteller, so in this book we get the universal story of boys seeking manhood away from home and of men teachers, trying to strike the right balance between the tough and the tender (and view achieving the balance). There is humor and intended humor going too far. There is life, abundant and death that can’t be reasoned out. Whether you too have had the boarding school experience or that of a boarding school teacher, this is a book that, if you read it, will come back in your memory years from now. Thanks, Frank, for being so open and honest.
