Tis: A Memoir,Frank McCourt

\""When Frank returns to America in 1953, he works on the docks, always resisting what everyone tells him, that men and women who have dreamed and toiled for years to get to America should \""stick to their own kind\"" once they arrive. Somehow, Frank knows that he should be getting an education, and though he left school at fourteen, he talks his way into New York University. There, he falls in love with the quintessential Yankee, long-legged and blonde, and tries to live his dream. But it is not until he starts to teach - and to write - that Frank finds his place in the world.\""--BOOK JACKET.\n\nWe are sure that you will be delighted with your purchase.\n\nHowever, in the event that an issue may arise, please do not hesitate to contact us before leaving negative feedback, as we will always look to resolve any issues for you.\n\nAs the items we sell are in a used condition, we pride ourselves on grading them as accurately as possible.\n\nAs an added quality check, we photograph all of .
