*Introduction to the book. A graffiti wall based on the back blurb of the book. Some first thoughts and reactions.

“Every year at Thanksgiving my mom makes pancakes. This tradition started a long time ago when my dad was still alive because my dad always said that having my mom spend a whole day in the kitchen didn't sound like much fun to him.”

“There was my dad sitting at the corner of Pine and Oak and Tony Ramone came speeding up in his big truck and slammed right into my dad and he was killed just like that.”

"The dad is pulling his daughter to the car." (Joseph)
