Alex Fazio lost his mother when he was eight, was sent to a boarding school where he was introduced to entirely new experiences: confinement, group living, slavishness, coming of age…and bullying by Sr. Saint John, the tallest nun and Robert Steeter, the oldest boy in the orphanage.
 
The story opens with Alex’s mother’s death. He and his sisters are split up and passed among various relatives and finally sent to a boarding school—referred to as the orphanage.

This is a story about Alex and his sister Maria growing to adolescence in a convent orphanage in the late forties where the nuns’ primary concerns were did you say your prayers, did you brush your teeth and were you relatively quiet most of the time. When Robert Steeter, the oldest, most mature boy in the orphanage, shows up missing, the nuns at the orphanage, as well as Robert’s sister Maureen, assumed he has run away and little more thought is given to him.
 
Years later, circumstances arise where there is a chance Robert will be found—at the same time that Alex’s sister Maria becomes terminally ill. If she dies without telling what she knows of the past, no one will believe what actually happened. Alex is terrified of the consequences and must decide whether to expose his sister while she is dying or take the fall himself.

  Meanwhile, to complicate matters, he and Maureen have maintained a life-long illicit relationship. Now Alex is faced with confessing to her before she finds out, but he is afraid. He finds his cowardice, as well as his dual life with her loathsome and it severely debilitates him.
