About The Boy Behind The China Cabinet: A Memoir About
Product Description ** Award-Winning Finalist in the Spirituality: Inspirational category of the 2020 Best Book Awards sponsored by American Book Fest** The Boy Behind the China Cabinet: a Memoir about Addiction, Hollywood, Mother Teresa and Me is the eclectic story of one man's coming to terms with himself. It is tragic, and at times hysterically funny, as the memoir recounts growing up in the Bronx in a large Catholic Italian family and living through his oldest brother's drug addiction. It is a story of self-discovery, as he leaves home to pursue an acting career in Hollywood. It is also a story of faith as he meets Mother Teresa, leaves Hollywood, and pursues the life of a missionary in one of the strictest orders of the Catholic Church. Filled with engaging stories about the Hollywood elite, Mother Teresa, struggles in the convent, and persevering in the face of adversity, this story shows how touching and sometimes shattering the journey to find yourself can be. Review - The Prairies Book Review "LaGreca writes in simple yet effective prose, his questions about faith and religion are both earnest and insightful, and his ability to look for a common ground while talking about religion will sit well with devotees and non-believers at once...t his heartwarming look at the life of a man trying to find his own place in the world is effortlessly charming. Readers will be irresistibly drawn into LaGreca's earnest and poignant journey." ** Award-Winning Finalist in the Spirituality: Inspirational category of the 2020 Best Book Awards sponsored by American Book Fest - Readers' Favorite Awards "Memoirs can be pretty hit-or-miss, depending on the author. Paul LaGreca hit the ball out of the park with The Boy Behind the China Cabinet. His life story is unique, and Paul's charming, genuine voice shines through his storytelling. Paul has a way of conveying the emotions he felt at the time, allowing the reader to connect emotionally to his story."
