Abstract
Follows Pat Riley, 13, who grows up in a working class Irish neighborhood. “Pat Riley has long accepted his mother’s decision to become a priest,” says The Washington Observer, “instead of a miner like his dad. Then, during his last year in parochial school, he met Leila, who opened new worlds for him.”
Notes
North Braddock is disguised as Brasston. This novel was reprinted later in 1962 as a mass market paperback with a different title, Small Town Blues.
