Christmas season 1949. A sixteen-year-old boy, climbing public
steps at night, surprises an adult couple in an illicit affair. The
man, startled by the sudden appearance of the teenager, loses his
life. The married woman convinces the lad to keep the events of the
tragedy between themselves. The boy agrees to her plan of secrecy.
The story begins then with a secret being shared between a youth of
one generation and an adult of another. It is a story of two
generations. The teens in the novel experience the frustration and
exhilaration of growing up, falling in and out of love,
demonstrating bravado, and experimenting with sex. Their parents
suffer from the disappointments of life. One father is more mindful
of the past than the present. Another father is a loner, steals
from his employer and schemes to abandon his adulterous wife. A
father of twins is dictatorial with his daughter, but allows
greater freedom for her twin brother. This novel is a story of
changing times. The fictional hilly community of old homes, small
roads, neighborhood stores, peddlers, and trolleys, is losing to a
new way of supermarkets, shopping malls, automobiles, and suburban
housing plans. The government is becoming more interested with
their welfare, building housing projects, causing the previously
separated ethnic groups to mingle. Deutschtown's Pigeon Hill is a
story of people moving into more modern times, while clinging onto
a fleeing past.
