'Tis by Frank McCourt
5.0
I love listening to Frank Mccourt and simple yet powerful narration of his life stories. This book follows the events after the first book ended. Frank’s arrival in the United States, his journey and adventures after arrival.

"There are officers with their wives and children and they have the clean scrubbed look that comes from shower and shampoo and a constant state of grace. They have the look of people from Maine or California, small towns, church on Sundays, leg of lamb afterward, peas, mash potatoes, apple pie, iced tea, Dad snoozing with the big Sunday paper dropped to the floor, kids reading comics, Mom in the kitchen washing dishes and humming “oh, what a beautiful mornin’”
