Ain’t No Bum
By Dennis McCrieght
Milt has lived his entire life with
the stigma his father has placed on him, that he is a no good bum just because
he would not cow to his father’s ways and fervently stuck to his morals not
wanting to be a mean drunk like his old man. One day as he is working with the
CCC he walks into walgreens and asks the cute shop girl if they have Prince
Albert in a can, from that day on Milt and Vi would be inseparable through
thick and thin as Milt continues to live with the utmost integrity.
This was such a beautiful story, not
only does the author bring to life truly wonderful characters but he also
brings to life the country in which they live from the depression to the polio
outbreak he spans decades as the couple begin a family and travel through some
of the worst times in history. You will feel a connection with Milt even if you
have never been in an abusive family situation the author will pull every heart
string until you feel as if you have. From the beginning this novel enraptured
me and the author did a wonderful job in rapping up the ending so that you feel
complete closure, leaving you with the warm and fuzzies.
