"Patrick O'Sullivan gives readers a disturbing account of ten years of ever escalating physical abuse and emotional cruelty at the hands of his father. When Patrick proved more skilled than other eight-year-olds, John O'Sullivan decided to dedicate his life to turning his son into the player he had always dreamed of becoming. Shouting at the top of his lungs, John O'Sullivan was the over-involved parent. Many of Patrick's teammates and their parents and coaches thought it ended there. Few had an idea of the dysfunction and violence at the O'Sullivans' home."
