Laughing to Keep from Crying

Frank learned early that laughter could be a shield. Adopted into a troubled home, pushed through poverty, street life, and violence, he discovered that making people laugh could keep him from crying—and sometimes keep him alive. Laughing to Keep From Crying follows Frank's journey from a wounded childhood to the unforgiving streets, where humor became his survival tool and his moral compass. He doesn't deal drugs. He doesn't pretend life is fair. Instead, he tells jokes—sometimes sharp, sometimes silly, sometimes barely funny at all—because laughter eases pain, defuses anger, and reminds people they are still human. As Frank moves through gang life, jail, near-death, honest work, and eventually the stage, he begins to understand that comedy is more than entertainment. It is connection. It is resistance. It is hope spoken out loud. Blending humor, grit, and quiet faith, this coming-of-age story shows how laughter can rise from the harshest places—and how one voice can give others permission to breathe, smile, and keep going.
