Sandra M. Colbert Books

“Sandra Colbert portrays working-class life in Chicago’s Back of the Yards neighborhood in the immediate postwar era. Her stories tell the trials of young people growing up amidst the wooden frame tenements, packinghouses, and streets of a part of the city rarely visited by outsiders. With Chicago Bound 2 she takes her place among Chicago’s long line of realistic writers. The joy, grit, and heartbreak of the city make this collection especially vivid.”~Dominic A.
