My Moms and Me - Second Edition

An atmospheric 1950's coming-of-age story about Andrew, a quirky seventh-grader living in vacant buildings with his grandfather while attending a ritzy private Catholic military grade school.

At first, he's convinced that a monsignor's sexual abuse won't spoil his bizarrely fun life in which he looks askance at everything, especially Catholicism.  After all, a kid's gotta be tough...but, is he tough "enough"? 

He walks a jagged line between his bliss and agony.

Andrew convinces his best friend, Damian, a quiet reflective rebel also from a poor background, to become a fellow altar boy.  Mark, Andrew's other friend, is a fun, risk-taking heathen (i.e., an Episcopalian) who takes Andrew's mind off things going on in church.
