Summary of Catherine Gildiner's Too Close to the Falls

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was born in Lewiston, a small town in western New York, to conservative, devout Catholic parents. I was at the hub of the town because I worked in my father’s drugstore from the age of four. I was labeled eccentric by my mother. #2 I worked at a drugstore as a child, and I was exposed to situations that were unusual for a child. I never had a meal at home, and I was surrounded by adults. My peer group became my coworkers. #3 I loved working with Roy, the pharmacist, because he was always in a good mood, and he made me feel like I was important. He never put off a good time, yet he always got his work done. #4 At 10:30 A. M. on Saturdays, all the employees had a break. We sat around the large red Coke cooler where the ice had melted and fished out our Cokes. I liked looking at things Roy-style, and when I was four, my mother taught me to read. Roy had been all over the United States.
