The swimming pool was the one place Mark Edwards always felt safe—until a scorching August evening when a misfired cannonball drenched three bully brothers while John the lifeguard was in the bathroom. One bully clamped Mark’s head in a vise like grip and forced him under, holding him down until he swallowed water. Everything went silent as Mark dropped to the bottom—and that’s when he saw all three brothers dive in after him. Mark escaped with his new underwater skills.

Guilt, shame, and anxiety lurked in the halls of Saint John’s Catholic School during the early ’70s. For nine-year-old Mark Edwards, one emotion towered above the rest: fear. And that fear had a name—Sister Tank Mary. Big, strong, and unforgiving, she ruled the school with unchecked authority. Mark has been forewarned by his oldest brother, Adam, not to get on the wrong side of Sister Mary, “If you do, you’ll regret it,” Adam cautioned his little brother. Mark does his best to follow the rules and stay out of trouble.
