Finding Flowers In A Little Pile Of Sh*T: A Memoir

Don Hanley's early life was shaped by insults and put-downs, starting with the delivery doctor declaring him just another mouth to feed when he was born. From a very young age, his father and older brother hurled physical and verbal abuse at him and never let an opportunity pass by to tell him that he was nothing more than a worthless little pile of shit, so Don grew up believing there was nothing good, special, or important about him. But there were other clues along the way that allowed Don to imagine that despite contrary opinion, he was all right-maybe even smart, good, and worthy of love.Along his journey, each clue gave him a piece of his confidence back, which filled him with the determination to make his dreams of becoming a priest and providing for his mother come true. In following his dreams, he discovered other possibilities for his life that the pain of his childhood had him believe he was not worthy or capable of. And another comment, that was intended as an insult, would change the course of his life in unimaginable ways; he would be chastised for being a free thinker.
