With no money and nowhere else to go, the LaPointes create a fragile nest in a tenement building at 238 North Pearl Street in Albany, New York. For the next eight years, through the Great Depression and the Second World War, they live in the heart of the Irish slum, surrounded by ward heelers, unemployment, grinding poverty, and a number of "crazyladies" ... Colorful though it is, Jean-Luc never stops dreaming of a way out of the slum, and his mother's impossible expectations are both his driving force and his burden."--Back cover. 650 0 $a Boys $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Eccentrics and eccentricities $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Irish American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fatherless families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Single mothers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Slums $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Albany (N.Y.) $v Fiction. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0616/2004016340-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0616/2004016340-d.html 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0616/2004016340-s.html 941 $a 2 952 $l GVPC501 $d 20231222013313.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20230512010055.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4C9D70A4F08A11EDB88C213231ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
