Product Description
That’s My Point is a story about family and the impact families can have in rearing children and grandchildren. Sometimes serious and sometimes humorous, this account represents an honest journey into what it was like growing up in the 1970s and 1980s in an Irish-American, Catholic family in the blue-collar, industrial neighborhood of Locust Point. Author Joe Kelly reflects on the events and people that made him laugh, cry, and ultimately grow up on the sometimes-tumultuous streets of South Baltimore’s little jewel—home of “The Star Spangled Banner.” Whether eluding arrest and the “curse of the Irish” or discovering life’s triumphs and epiphanies, this memoir examines the human experience through the eyes of a kid born to parents and grandparents who cared. What began as a recollection of memories and lessons expanded into this memoir. Enjoy the ride.
