Harry’s mother to be met a thirty-seven year old man who was married with two children and they failed to take precautions when they were swept up into a heated moment. Society in 1938 took a dim if not a condemning view of unwed motherhood and so did some of her family, friends, and neighbors. After two years, love won out, her mother caved in, and thus begins the story of the life of Harry McGee. It’s a story of excitement, disappointments, shame, near misses, street psychology, tragedy, betrayal, the nuns, the service, gambling, adventures, misadventures, good breaks, bad breaks, alcoholism, incomprehensible demoralization, miracles, institutions, recovery, failure, success, happenstance, and unconditional love that led Harry McGee to come face to face with his warts and pimples and begin the journey of becoming the man God created him to be.
