There's no trace of sentimentality here, just a close look at a rugged childhood and early manhood. Spragg left childhood behind at age 11, when we went to work for his father. One of the strongest chapters details the winter he spent house-sitting in an isolated mountain cabin; it shows just how thin the line between sanity and insanity can become.
