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 |
