Uplifting story of how one family survived challenges and setbacks
of the Great Depression, World War II and the Postwar years; how
they beat poverty, mental illness, and alcoholism. A picture of
their thirteen-year experience in public housing in the midst of an
ethnic urban village in the 1940s-1950s. Told with engaging candor
and humor. REVIEWS: "What a great gift Joe Doolin Has given us with
South Boston Boy. A remarkably clear-eyed and unsentimental memoir
of growing up in South Boston, through turmoil and tragedy,
emerging stronger and more humanely decent. Joe Doolin, like many
of others of his generation and neighborhood, has given a life of
service to others. South Boston Boy may be his most generous
contribution -- inspiring by its honesty and good humor." -- Robert
J. Allison, Chair, History Department, Suffolk University; and
President South Boton Historical Society "In South Boston Boy Joe
Doolin captures much of the essence of South Boston in the mid
twentieth century. The book not only chronicles his life in this
hostoric and ever evolving neighborhood of Boston, but is done with
humor and candor and is an engaging read." -- Anthony Sammarco,
author of South Boston, vols. I and II, and several other books on
Boston and environs
