When I Was Ten is an autobiographical, bittersweet coming of age story based in the early 1960s. The reader follows the life of young Maureen Hurley over the course of her tenth year as she experiences a sexual transition from childhood to maturity. Though written with humor, the story tells of her tragic loss of innocence which leads to a rather bleak and desperate childhood.
