"I DON'T BRAKE FOR NUNS " is a hilarious narrative of Catholic School in the 1960s as seen through the eyes of a kid stuck right smack in the middle of a nun-run educational system.

"I DON'T BRAKE FOR NUNS " will bring tears of laughter to anyone who can empathize with children trying to survive the fanatical discipline of nuns. While witty and marvelously perspicuous throughout, the book is also poignant, and impels readers to be introspective, too. Most notably, the book is funny.
