Point Breeze Stories

More about the book

Set in the vibrant neighborhood of Point Breeze, this collection of fourteen fictional short stories and two memoirs explores the rich tapestry of American history from the frontier days to the 21st century. Key events include the struggles of an Irish settler family in the 1700s, the 1877 railroad strike, and the tumultuous Prohibition era. The narratives, particularly rooted in the 1950s and 1960s Baby Boom, celebrate the neighborhood's colorful characters and evoke deep emotions of nostalgia, culminating in heartfelt coming-of-age memoirs that honor the author's heritage.
