Description: As Long As You Can See the Clock, You're Okay by Grace Zolla Protano Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In Grace Zolla Protanos touching memoir we meet the people who most impacted her life: her brothers Jack and Sal, who gave her strength and laughter; her father Anthony, who showed her gentleness and character. We see her mother Fiorentina, who taught her kindness and wonder, but whose emotionally crippling illness stole half a childhood. Set mainly in Brooklyn in the 1950s, AS LONG AS YOU CAN SEE THE CLOCK, YOURE OKAY is a recollection of growing up with a unique love embodying joy and sadness; pride and shame; tenderness and cruelty. The author longs for her absent mother and we cry with her; she feels a safety just by seeing Downtown Brooklyns 512 foot icon, the Williamsburgh Savings Bank clock tower, and we understand fully why AS LONG AS YOU CAN SEE THE CLOCK, YOURE OKAY. Author Biography Grace Zolla Protano is a retired English teacher who lives on Long Island, New York, with her husband Nick. Born and raised in Brooklyn, she incorporates into many of her short stories and poetry the nuances privy to a native of that great borough. Long Island has been Graces home for thirty-five years. Her experiences with teaching teenagers for most of that time, raising three teenage daughters, and being a teenager herself in Brooklyn, provide a look into the heart of a kid--with its conflicts, its sadness, and its unbridled silliness. Protano is also the author of ABSENT FROM CLASS and its sequel WHATEVER YOU SAY, CECI, both dealing with teacher burnout.
