Born and raised by his parents, Pat and Kate, in a town near Boston as his folks believed in instilling strong Catholic values in him and his three siblings, the elder sisters Kelly and Maureen and younger brother Timmy. This story continues as told through Patrick's eyes, his memories while growing up, the boyhood adventures with his friends by the fort and Pete's Pond to his grammar and high school days and the characters he encounters. Rather than going directly from high school to college his life had other plans in the form of serving for America in the Korean War. Again fate through a detour in the form of an eye injury suffered. That wasn't so good in the short term but it allowed him to form a relationship with his nurse, Erin. He from Massachusetts and Erin Toles from neighboring Maine and once the pair return to the states, after a period of separation the two reunited in a special way. Now married, the couple raised 3 children, twin sons Patrick and Michael and the youngest, daughter Erica. To earn a family income Erin resumed her nursing career by Mercy Hospital and Pat pursued his love of writing at the local paper Massachusetts Courier Express which was a perfect fit. The following years he wrote articles and columns about the events occurring in the 'real' world and those were intertwined with stories, happenings in his personal life. Like all people he experienced both highs and lows. The accomplishments he and his family enjoyed, the births, and the deaths of those important to him and the discoveries. He always suspected his neighbor was odd and strange, but never imagined living next to a murderer and finding a grandson he never even knew existed.
