While in Barnes and Noble the day after Christmas this book on the
bargain table caught my eye because I was born and raised in Brooklyn.
It sounded like a charming fast read and I figured why not. And I was
not disappointed. Sometime after WWII while the Dodgers were still in
Brooklyn and baseball was still played at Ebbets Field a young girl
comes from Ireland to Brooklyn to try and make a life for herself.
Sponsored by a Priest she gets work in a shop and starts classes at
Brooklyn College and meets a boy she falls in love with. But when a
tragedy strikes and she goes back to Ireland will the new life she built
survive? I’m not telling, you’ll have to read it for yourself. You wont
be sorry.
