For the Love of Pete and Father Schnapps: Pete and Fr. Schnapps

An engineer, his wife, their seven children, and a Dominican Friar jostle through years of hard work and exploration. Narrated by one of the children, this book journeys through delightful days on the campus of Providence College; beachside life at Pt. Judith in Rhode Island; episodes in Detroit; retirement in the Florida Keys; and painful losses. Spanning nearly a century, it is a nourishing read that entertains while reaffirming those ideals we hope we are all capable of living.
