Up in the Bronx Stephen Baum

"

A powerful first novel of a young man who ?finds himself? by way of overcoming unexpected challenges: his exploits, his adventures, his redemption.
A love story as well - with a cast of poignant New York characters who come together to weave a charming, yet dramatic story.
Set in the Bronx of 1972-73, this novel is not your typical nostalgia-driven, commercial venture (so, if you were looking for that sort of tome, forget it and keep walking). However, the book does look back lovingly on our northernmost and best-beloved borough.
