Patti Ruskin is a 38 year old Navy wife and mother who has traveled all over the world and back. Originally from a small town in Illinois, she grew up in a stereo-typical Irish Catholic home with an alcoholic father. Her story begins three weeks from birth and spans the choppy waters of her damn adventure. Follow her through the comedy, tragedy, and joy of this heartwarming and real story. With her emotional baggage packed, she takes us on an adventure through childhood, college, and marriage to the Navy. Her compass leads you to the tiny islands of Key West, Guam, and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as she navigates the unpredictable world of the military spouse. This story will make you laugh, weep and want to shake her all at the same time. Her life's journey is centered around trying to let go and figuring out that holding on is just as necessary as letting go.

"Seelye's version seems even funnier than the original, and also more moving, since Seelye's Huck Finn is even less sentimental about life and Tom Sawyer than Twain's Huck Finn. He is also more perceptive about black people than the original." -- Hughes Rudd, CBS News "Seelye has stitched together a whale of a book. Without reference to Twain's own version, it is almost impossible to see the seams where 1970 joins 1884." -- Geoffrey Wolff, Newsweek

A picaresque series of tales about an ordinary man's successful quest to survive, and a funny but unrelentingly savage assault on the very idea of bureaucratic officialdom as a human enterprise conferring benefits on those who live under its control, and on the various justifications bureaucracies offer for their own existence.

What constitutes my family? Is it my relationship: with my cadre of friends; with my errant brother, my wayward mother and my unknown father; or with my love interest that I perceive to be selfishly pursuing his own lifelong dream without patiently and adequately considering my wants and needs? Does shared DNA define a family, or is it more a matter of our shared experiences, common values and interests? Since I am loyal to my brother, who I consider to be a madman, am I guilty of complicity in his crimes too? Is it right for me to feel superior to my brother because in my moral universe, my brand of crime is not as heinous as his? I am Rodney creature of the mean streets of New York City, a thief by trade, wrestling with myself over some of "life's little problems." Come along, hitch a ride!

TRUST GOD ONLY & WALK IN BLIND FAITH- ALONE for more than 5 years in silence. Maybe I was set up to die that way. A freak accident, perhaps. That's how it would have looked. Someone expected that, and with expectations that low and miserable, I never worried about someone like that. Risky behavior was my hobby in those days. Unknowingly, I was selected as a target of interest, mistaken for the "average bear "hunted down during hibernation, plenty of times before.The obvious game is to benefit from life insurance policies matured well and long enough to play a "surprised" or "sorry" role when a target expires. Apparently, keeping up appearances is costly. This ritual targets the LGBT Community, persons identifying with mental illness, and persons with criminal history involving drugs. I would play this game like a baby Grand Piano but it worked. This account I am opening is not a game, however, and secrets like these make a killing, literally. GOD has the final word.
