Title: Did I Ever Thank You Sister?
Author: Sal Di Leo

Sal Di Leo returns
after 30 years to the Catholic orphanage outside Chicago that he and his
siblings called home in 1963. This is the beginning of a journey of discovery
and remembrance as Sal is forced to reconstruct his life as it really happened,
including some of his most difficult years at Boys Town in Nebraska. As an
adult, Sal tried to rise above his turbulent past in an aggressive quest for
power and money. Successes soon led to failures. Eventually, a wise friend
convinces Sal to go back to his roots and look for the good experiences and
valuable lessons he learned as a nine-year-old orphan.
