A Gripping Tale of Survival
During a Tumultuous Time
Experience the 1916 Invasion of Mexico, the first Red Scare, Prohibition, and the start of the Nazi movement in America during the Great Depression, through Lost Generation protagonist Joe O'Mara's eyes.
R.J. Kinch blends literary genres and the history of the period to tell a fast-paced, action filled story about a young man raised in an Irish Catholic family. Confronted with tough choices and moral dilemmas, Joe must form unexpected alliances and overcome his compulsions to survive on the mean streets of Newark, New Jersey, a city sharply divided by race, religion, and ethnicity.
