Places I Have Shat

PLACES I HAVE SHAT by Jersey Joe Fusco Synopsis In his comical memoir, Joe gages his life's events with the many places he has lived (20). (His parents couldn't get along with people) Through all of his parents fighting and all of the verbal abuse he had to endure, from a manic mother and an alcoholic, womanizing father, the bathroom seemed to be his 'fortress of solitude', thus the title. Joe eventually escaped this dysfunctional life, and at the age of seventeen he moved away to college and made a life and a career for himself. And after being a public school music teacher, and musician for 35 years, he is here to tell you that obtaining a good education is the key for anyone to make a better life for themselves. He has always stressed that fact to his students. In every story he tells, he has injected his own comedic style of writing that will leave the reader laughing out loud. Without making light of the awful things that has happened to him, he would have GONE SCREAMING IN TO THE NIGHT! He says, "I don't think any of these events have left lasting scars. At least I haven't shot anyone from atop a bell tower, YET!" Joe thanks all of the people he has known. He is the sum of all the good and bad things that has rubbed off of his past relationships. Joe talks about his childhood friends as 'saviors'. Without them to play ball and to hang out with, he would have never made it. With his wonderful wife of 26 years, Kay by his side, Joe has had the support and love of his best friend and mate for life. The book is dedicated to her. So, read the book. Laugh, reminisce your own past. It will be good for your soul. And by all means, let this book help you heal. You will find that laughter can do amazing things.
