In\xa0BREAKING GLASS:\xa0Tales from the Witch of Wall Street,\xa0Patricia\xa0Walsh\xa0Chadwick\xa0continues to tell the story of her bizarre upbringing that she began in her 2019 memoir,\xa0Little Sister. In this coming-of-age follow-up, she revisits her childhood through a different lens, offering insights into how the experiences of her early life shaped her character and helped her forge her path in business and finance.,From the tender age of six through her high school years,\xa0Patricia\xa0was raised in The Center, an isolated, rural community of 100 members, including 39 children, led by Leonard\xa0Feeney, an excommunicated Jesuit priest, and managed with an iron fist by his spiritual alter ego, Catherine Clarke. Together, they created a monastic environment that demanded obedience, silence, chastity, and detachment from family, achieved by separating parents from their children and forbidding members to read newspapers, watch television, listen to the radio, or communicate with outsiders.\xa0Patricia\xa0defied Sister Catherine\u2019s mission to mold her into a compliant, submissive nun. At 17, in the middle of the turbulent 1960s, she was expelled from her home in Still River, Massachusetts, without a hint of how to survive, much less thrive, in an unfamiliar and frightening world. Yet thrive she did.\xa0In 1966,\xa0Patricia\xa0began her new life in secretarial school, where she excelled at typing and shorthand but struggled to navigate social cues and casual conversation. She set her sights on building a career in finance, a hard-charging field ruled by men.\xa0 From her first job as a receptionist at a Boston brokerage firm, to research analyst with a Philadelphia-based firm, to Wall Street as a portfolio manager, responsible for billions of dollars in assets.
