This book touches your heart in the first few pages as William Peter Blatty vividly describes his very dynamic and entertaining mother. Although seemingly perturbed by his mother's behavior at times, Blatty lovingly illustrates his mother as a caring, strong and yet bizarre woman hell bent to make it in NYC while raising her kids alone. The book is quick to read and will have you laughing out loud at this woman's crazy take on the world around her. The story follows up with Blatty's adult life and portrays how his time with his mother influenced him to be the author, man, and father he later became.

This book ranks near the top of my reading list. The book tells about Bill Blatty's mother. She had a dominneering personality, very strong opinions about what is right and good and usually got her way when she decided she wanted to do something. I identified her with my mother. There was a sentence in the book that I will always carry with me. It read, "She kept the joys, struggles and sorrows of all her life in the chapel of her heart where she prayed alone." The book has humor, love, adventure and the personal touch of the author. I heartly recommend it to anyone who bonds with people
