| Introduction | Marine Corps boot camp was easy after growing up at a Texas orphanage where I avoided beatings by hiding in a corner and reading books. Now I write about those times. My heroes are orphans and the angels who inspired us on our journey into adulthood.The nine years I spent at the Tarrant County Children's Home during the 1950s and '60s are the focus of my current project County Kid, a coming-of-age memoir told by my eighteen year-old self. |
