A refreshing and strange coming of age story that's redolent with all the heavy stuff -- mortality, impermanence, family -- but also dances in the light. Thom Ernst has made his own confection, and the rewards are in the sugar of the language and the tart of the story.-- Dave Bidini, author of Midnight Light Courageously honest, and emotionally shattering, The Wild Boy of Waubamik scratches the surface of complacency to dive into the deep, secret waters of childhood sexual abuse, giving a voice to those unheard. Beautifully written, this memoir is as illuminating as it is necessary.-- Heidi von Palleske, actor and author of Two White Queens and the One-Eyed Jack
