Meet Tommy Schultze, a lovable rascal with a generous heart, strong opinions, and more than a few lessons left to learn.
Tommy Schultze is curious, funny, determined, and often one impulsive decision away from a serious conversation.
He lives at Dempsey House with a lively group of friends who share responsibilities, disagreements, routines, celebrations, and the occasional questionable idea. Watching over them is a community of caregivers, relatives, neighbors, and spiritual guides who understand that real support requires both compassion and accountability.
When everyday choices become moral questions, Tommy must learn to slow down, tell the truth, accept consequences, and consider how his actions affect other people.
The lessons are serious, but the book never loses its warmth.
Through humor, faith, and conversations that meet Tommy where he is, Tommy’s Confessions explores what it means to form a conscience without crushing a spirit.
Tweens and Young Readers
The stories introduce moral and spiritual questions through memorable characters, humor, and familiar choices.
Parents and Families
Each chapter can become a natural starting point for conversations about honesty, responsibility, forgiveness, faith, and consequences.
Catholic and Christian Readers
The book explores confession, grace, prayer, the Ten Commandments, and Christian community through approachable stories.
Educators and Catechists
The chapter-based structure makes the book suitable for guided discussion, reflection, and age-appropriate moral learning.
Caregivers and Disability Advocates
The book emphasizes dignity, inclusion, supportive relationships, meaningful responsibility, and the importance of seeing the person beyond a diagnosis.
Book Clubs and Community Groups
Its mix of humor, faith, ethical questions, and representation offers many paths for thoughtful discussion.
Invite Tommy and the Dempsey House community into your home, classroom, church, book club, or reading group.
Come for the humor. Stay for the questions. Leave with a deeper understanding of faith, responsibility, community, and grace.
Stories can do more than entertain. They can help families speak about difficult choices, encourage young people to ask honest questions, and remind communities that every person deserves to be known, supported, and respected.
Your message matters. Peter looks forward to hearing how Tommy’s Confessions has encouraged reflection, discussion, or a new way of seeing someone’s story.
Peter welcomes messages from readers, parents, caregivers, educators, churches, disability organizations, book clubs, libraries, and members of the media.
