The Girl in the Italian Bakery ReviewTo read the blurb, you would think that Kenny Tingle was born and everything was downhill from there. That is not the case. His life had a lot of downhill runs but, ultimately, this is a memoir of hope. He overcame his upbringing to become a substantial citizen.We are introduced to Kenny when he is about six, the youngest of three boys, the oldest of whom has mental disabilities. They are being raised by a single mother in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Although there is no indication why, she does not seem able to handle the boys and after a while does not take an active part in their upbringing.
This is a rare look at white urban poor. Kenny gets into the foster system for good and for ill depending upon the foster parents. He drops out of school, goes back, works while in school, drinks, smokes, commits crimes, enjoys hijinks with friends, yet overcomes it all. This is testimony to the human spirit (not to mention the Marine Corps).
The book is well-written and the characters seem like something out of a modern day Dickens tale - indicating how some things have not changed in a few hundred years. Mr. Tingle is brutally honest about his faults and short-comings and more than modest about how his efforts lifted him out of the mire of crime-ridden poverty.
This is a stark look at youth in a depressed old mill city. Ultimately, you'll just have to smile at Kenny's destiny.The Girl in the Italian Bakery Overview
