Loose Screws

Whether it be the story of how his sister celebrates Christmas in "The Twelve Weeks of Advent," or how German words can be misinterpreted in English in "A Good Fahrt....and a Douche," the anecdotes have a personal touch with which the reader can connect. A 22-year-old grudge is settled in the story "Toothpaste, Mayonnaise, and Big Ben" while fundraising for a new church in Canada is detailed in "A Pregnant Nun and a Chicken at Mass."

Not far away from any story, is Gerry's wife (the Queen), his daughters (the Princesses), and his serf sons-in-law. Loose Screws is a unique view of a life through the eyes of the one who lived it, a kid from the Bronx.
