Backstreets
Thomas Terlikowski
Growing up on the backstreets of Chicago in the post-World War II era wasn't an easy time for anyone. Tom and Dan, the "new kids on the block",
must learn to cope with cruel children, domestic violence, and the turbulence of a nation recovering from war. In
the backstreets, mafia thugs, bullies, and whiskey compete with Catholicism and family for cultural control. In this
delightful coming-of-age story, Tom learns to overcome his circumstances and surroundings, and the value of fairness,
friendship, and family.
