About the Book
This book tells the tale of a boy growing up in a small town in Massachusetts, during the 1950s and 60s. What makes the story unique is the manner in which the boy was raised. While most households, during that time, consisted of a mother, father, and some number of children, Tommy had none of that. Although, he did have a mother, she was only present on a part-time basis, and his father had died during World War II. Solely for his mother’s convenience, he was raised, for the most part, on a farm in Sudbury. This situation, being of room and board, lasted from 1947 until 1964. Along the way, he learned many lessons, abandonment being the strongest. Will Tommy ever be able to dig his way out of the depths of depression, and learn how to truly love and care? Time will tell.

Tom Brewer grew up and attended school in the small town of Sudbury, Massachusetts.

Upon retirement, he attended several writing classes to further hone his writing skills and allow him to put his story down on paper. Tom considers himself to be, both a very lucky person and a very damaged one as well. He feels lucky in that his education and training came easily to him. Beyond that, he gives thanks that fate often placed him in the right place at exactly the right time, throughout his life. On the other hand, he feels damaged by the fact that he was raised in a very dysfunctional fashion, which you’ll read about within. Currently, Tom is enjoying his retirement on Cape Cod in Massachusetts with his wife, Linda,
