Never Hug a Nun

From falling for a girl with no-good-for-sports stick arms and beautiful penmanship, to jumping freight trains, smoking cigarettes, projectile vomiting, and accidentally robbing the local Ben Franklin, first grade at Mary Queen of Our Hearts parochial school changes everything for Patrick Cantwell. By the time Patrick graduates second grade, he's practically a grown-up, complete with a broken heart, a police record and memories of the Beatles at Busch Stadium. Written with the keen sense of comic timing Killeen brings to radio station KMOX's "A Whole 'nother Story" and the annual Holiday Radio Show, Never Hug a Nun is a sweet, laugh-out-loud look at the innocence of childhood in the leafy Webster Groves suburb of 1960s Saint Louis.
