Over this past weekend, I wasn't feeling well, so I decided to take it easy and postpone the spring cleaning, even though the house really needs it and I have been preparing for it all winter long, and read a biography that I received not too long ago. It seems a little offbeat to me when I first came across it, but once I read it, I was glad that I did.
This book focuses on a young boy as he grows up in New York. He eventually becomes a very successful psychologist, and marries and has children. While the story covers many years, it progresses very nicely, making my weekend in bed more bearable that I thought it would be. The book is called The Life of Sosat Silacay by Tasos Yacalis. While it is a biography, it is told by someone other than the man it is written about. While he knows the man, he does not follow him closely and get all of the stories from first hand experience.
This book tells the tale of a young man making his way on the streets in New York City. It begins when he is just a small boy, and follows him from childhood all the way until he is older and a successful psychologist. This story progresses rather quickly throughout his life, but also tells his story through his eyes and his experiences with marriage, and his career choices. It also shows what a large influence his mother was on his life throughout the years and how he learned very valuable lessons that helped to shape him into the empathetic person that he became as an adult.
