One snowy New Year's Day, in the midst of the Great Depression, Dr.
James Delaney--haunted by the slaughters of the Great War, and
abandoned by his wife and daughter--returns home to find his
three-year-old grandson on his doorstep, left by his mother in
Delaney's care. Coping with this unexpected arrival, Delaney hires
Rose, a tough, decent Sicilian woman with a secret in her past.
Slowly, as Rose and the boy begin to care for the good doctor, the
numbness in Delaney begins to melt. Recreating 1930s New York with
the vibrancy and rich detail that are his trademarks, Pete Hamill
weaves a story of honor, family, and one man's simple courage that
no reader will soon forget.
