Up in the Bronx

About the Book

Up in the Bronx: 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.
