Broken Yesterdays

As well as presenting a vivid picture of the very beginnings of rehabilitative therapy, BROKEN YESTERDAYS is the unswervingly candid and sometimes amusing memoir of a boy who learned early that he faced a choice: Either surrender to the bitterness of being different or make the best of what he had in him. Fortunately, Joseph Meagher made the right choice. Besides having a long career in personnel and a long, happy marriage, he had three novels published here and abroad: THROUGH MIDNIGHT STREETS, THE TENEMENT OF DREAMS and TIPPY LOCKLIN. (Critics have compared him to a kind of modern Dickens.) Determined to achieve the right perspective, he waited many years before writing BROKEN YESTERDAYS.
