Synopsis
The year was 1957, the month September, and I had just turned eight years old. Dwight Eisenhower was President, but in my life it was the diminutive, intense Sister Mary Lurana who ruled, at least in the third-grade class where I was held captive. For reasons you will soon understand, my parents had remanded me to the penal institution of St. Brigid's School in Westbury, New York, a cruel and unusual punishment if there ever was one. Already, I had barely survived my first two years at St. Brigid's because I was, well, a little nitwit. Not satisfied with memorizing the Baltimore Catechism's fine prose, which featured passages like "God made me to show his goodness and to make me happy with him in heaven" I was constantly annoying my classmates and, of course, the no-nonsense Sister Lurana. With sixty overactive students in her class, she was understandably short on patience. For survival, she had also become quick on the draw. Then it happened. One day I blurted out some dumb remark, and Sister Lurana was on me like a panther. Her black habit blocked out all distractions as she leaned down, looked me in the eye, and uttered words I have never forgotten: "William, you are a bold, fresh piece of humanity." And she was dead-on. One day in 1957, in the third-grade classroom of St. Brigid's parochial school, an exasperated Sister Mary Lurana bent over a restless young William O'Reilly and said, "William, you are a bold, fresh piece of humanity," little did she know that she was, early in his career as a troublemaker, defining the essence of Bill O'Reilly and providing him with the title of his brash and entertaining issues-based memoir. And this time it's personal. In his most intimate book yet, O'Reilly goes back in time to examine the people, places, and experiences that launched him on his journey from working-class kid to immensely influential television personality and bestselling author. Readers will learn how his traditional outlook was formed in the crucible of his family, his neighborhood, his church, and his schools, and how his views on America's proper role in the world emerged from covering four wars on five continents over three-plus decades as a news correspondent. What will delight his numerous fans and surprise many others is the humor and self-deprecation with which he handles one of his core subjects: himself, and just how O'Reilly became O'Reilly., The year was 1957, the month September, and I had just turned eight years old.

- 1***n (4)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSoon as I messaged w/ questions, I got a prompt response & ship! The item looked even better than as described or seen in pictures. When it arrived, it wasn't just boxed, but double boxed, w/ bubble wrap and extra cardboard for cushion! The effort was there! And more than it all, I am grateful to know this person is a fellow brother or sister in Christ! I have been blessed by you! Thank you so much for this sell! You have gifted me with the ability to relive my childhood home videos! Memories ♡
- n***c (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseReceived as expected and lightning fast! Thank you very much and will do business with this seller again. My only concern as advice to seller is to pack the car-in-blister pack in a cardboard box due to better protection from bends and blister bubble splits if it gets crushed into a standard mailbox post. The box offers better protection. Other than that this seller gets full five stars from me.
