About the Book

In "Every child, no matter how many, is special.", readers are treated in humorous detail to large-size family dynamics, which any size family will enjoy. Told through the eyes of author Stephen F. Gambescia and his siblings, Every child gives readers a glimpse into their childhood years growing up in a household of sixteen children. From the multiplicity of everyday events (recruiting "volunteers" to help with laundry, coordinating school lunches, food shopping or preparing meals), to the signature family-life events (hosting New Year's Eve parties, terrorizing neighborhood kids with their version of a Halloween haunted house, preparing for Christmas dinner or vacationing at the Jersey shore), Stephen captures the profound blessings of a large family and how managing a larger-than-average family is a testimony to his parents' amazing dedication, wisdom and self-sacrifice. In the words of his mother and her legacy on behalf of fellow parents, "A family is a family whether there is one child or sixteen children. Every child is special."
About the Author: Stephen F. Gambescia is the twelfth child of the sixteen, and the sixth son of the seven sons in the Gambescia family. He was born in Hahnemann Hospital, Philadelphia, in 1957 where today he is a professor of health services administration at Drexel University. He, wife Susan (a reader for this book), daughter Stephanie, and son Stephen Joseph eventually settled in a home three blocks from the house where he was born. Thus, he says he "has gone nowhere his whole life but he has met a lot of people." The inspiration for the book came when submitting an article, "Memories of the Jersey Shore," to the Philadelphia Inquirer. His passion for reading came from his father, his father's mother, and a cardinal whose habit of industry was to read a daily national or regional newspaper every day.
