Angelina (Angie) Aranyi was only eleven years old but far ahead both mentally and physically of her peers. She was raised in a strict household in Budapest, Hungary, but she dreamed about experiencing a quieter village life. Her dream came true when her mother met a peasant woman whose granddaughter was the same age as Angie. To her surprise, her parents allowed her to spend her long school break with the Nagy family in the village of Kisegres. Her entire world changes when she encounters not only a different culture and religion but also her host familys nephew, an incredibly handsome boy named Joe, who immediately fell in love with Angie, a feeling that was mutual. The off-and-on romance continues for six summers and a winter that she spent at her host familys rural home. Being a beautiful young girl, she is being courted by other young men who mistake her for being much older, but Joe always managed to work his way back into her heart, until Angie met a soldier named Andy. Joes bad temper and jealousy cast a dark shadow on Angie and Andys new romance. Angie knew that a hard decision was ahead of her; she had to choose between her first love and uncertain future with Joe, or the steady and deeply loving Andy who would do just about anything for her. Angie could have never imagined that when she makes her final decision at age sixteen, it would send her on an unexpected and incredible journey in life.

About the Book Despite the words on the cover, the pages in no way are a type of a self-help rehabilitation guide, informative in any way, nor will you gain knowledge in any way. Instead, if you have ever been diagnosed with ADHD (or not and just went through undetected, as there are more out there than you think), there is absolutely no structure. Author Patrick Miele often changes direction in mid-thought, and there are no chapters more than about three pages long. If you get a "I never thought of that," "Yeah, he's right on there," “I hate it when that happens," or just a chuckle, then his intentions of The Who-Man Chronicles have been achieved. The entire memoire was written during a two-year off-and-on stint in drug/alcohol rehabilitation inpatient treatment programs. This was supposed to be his journal/notebook during sessions but he strayed a bit. Two years later these pages were compiled. As a people "observer," Patrick is intrigued by human behavior and some of the idiosyncrasies of society and these rehabs were an observer's utopia. If you don't comprehend the concept of "random" thoughts, you will by the time you finish reading these pages.
