The bago boy

This is the 2nd edition of my memoir chronicling my journey as an urban pirate to escape from abuse by perverse priests and cruel nuns at a religious school. Set in the early 1950s in Philadelphia, on the way to fulfilling my dream of living the pirate life on a deserted island, I discovered a new and wonderful point of view that changed my life: the concept of BAGO. After I became a city-wide hero, I made a movie about my pirate river adventures with the nom de guerre, “Captain Fury.” My first mate, a girl pirate, and I navigated the rough waters of life, love, and adventure. My transition to The BAGO Boy is a coming-of-age novel reminiscent of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn with adventures akin to those in classic pirate tales like Treasure Island or Captain BloodThis is the 2nd edition of my memoir chronicling my journey as an urban pirate to escape from abuse by perverse priests and cruel nuns at a religious school.
