A personal side to the great 20th century theologian, distributist and Dominican Friar. A moving autobiographical study of Fr. Vincent's early years gives us a candid look into the life of a traditional Catholic family in the late 1800's. From the two children born at sea, to the McNabb boys rolling each other down the stairs in a laundry basket, hanging from the gutters, or drifting out to sea in a row-boat with no oars; we see how Fr. Vincent's mother and father handled it all and how their Catholic faith guided them. "Stands as a great apologia pro familia magna. A defense of the family that could thaw the most rigorous heart of our childless Age." - DR. WILLIAM EDMUND FAHEY
