The forthright story of Cass McKay :
his father, a devil by his own admission-
his brother, an unmanly drunken wreck-
his sister, a gentle girl enslaved by hunger-
-and of that small, restless section of our youth of both sexes, which - in the absence of proper parental supervision - rides the rods that lead to degradation and delinquency.
"This book should be read, reread and studied."
-Washington, D.C., Post
"Sizzling from the griddle of experience"
