Palmetto Publishing Releases Author’s Autobiography Highlighting His Struggle For Identity And Control of His Life
Growing Up Catholic, in Philly, During the 50s and 60s With a Very Controlling Mother
Charleston, SC, Aug. 20, 2024 – Meet Richard Etherton, the author of a poignant and relatable autobiography that chronicles young boy’s life, navigating the harsh realities of a Catholic school and the relentless interference of his overbearing mother.
Set against the backdrop of the 1950s, author’s experiences are a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of relentless physical and emotional torment. Also at this time, the Catholic Church’s influence was pervasive, and the nuns were notorious for their strict discipline. Richard’s mother’s constant meddling and her unfulfilled desire for him to join the priesthood add another layer of complexity to his already challenging life.
“[My book is about] my experiences growing up in a totally different time from today, where strict discipline was part of the school day,” said Richard.
Dive into a a compelling read that explores the complexities of familial relationships, the influence of religion on upbringing, and the societal norms of mid-20th century America.
