"Abominable Firebug" is the autobiographical tale of a boy who
became a resident of two foster home institutions, a detention
center, and, on two occasions, a reform school.
Author Richard Johnson honestly tells the story of his
often-turbulent boyhood as he shares the harsh realities of the
American juvenile detention system during the late 1950s and early
1960s. While sharing far-from-average life experiences, Johnson
vividly illustrates his love for his family despite their
rejection, his constant resiliency, his need for love and
acceptance, and the important role that mentors played in his
life.
Johnson eventually graduated from college and moved on to a
successful career. His story will uplift, encourage, and educate
anyone who works with troubled children or has experienced a
difficult childhood.
""Dick is an inspiration. Through capturing his experiences on
paper for all to read, he breathes new hope into the desperate
lives of disaffected youth . as professional caregivers, we owe it
to all these children to share the knowledge we gain from Dick's
book. Read this book and share it with others. Open peoples' eyes
to the harsh realities of those children locked and tossed away,
and share their worth and potential.""
