Midcentury Miscreant

In the second half of the last century a morally-compromised self-absorbed miscreant routinely ill-treated his family his schoolmates his neighbors and others unfortunate enough to encounter him. Of course he didnt see it that way; to him he was simply tending to his own interests. He felt no more concern for the effect of his actions upon others than a gopher might feel toward a manicured golf course. This uncaring attitude threatened to metastasize into bona fide sociopathy until a traumatic personal tragedy forced an overdue personal reckoning. Not only did he come to recognize his iniquity but he discovered a crucial life-altering verity about lifes purpose.This memoir traces the making and redemption of a miscreant. Its a meditation not just on one persons experience but also on universal themes of family friendship and humanity. Recounted with sincerity sentiment and self-deprecating humor Midcentury Miscreant tells an entertaining life story and offers a soul-searching contemplation on human relationships. Its ultimately a heartwarming tale of hope that is especially welcome amid the antagonism and divisiveness that characterize our current times.
