What people are saying about "Nordeast Boys:"

"A well-written book of the evolution of lives within a blue-collar Mid-West neighborhood. I enjoyed the factual grounding of the details. So many books seem to have manufactured details to push a story along, which ruin the feel of authenticity. This one rings of raw reality, which drew me into the stories of drugs, friendships lost and found, and brotherly love. The timeline does jump around, so I appreciated some of the short anecdotes used to clue me in. I was particularly enamored with the period of the 50's-60's, as the writer was splendid at painting a picture of a struggling neighborhood during an interesting time in America."

"This is a captivating read."

"Raw and real....a family story that could be anyone's, filled with trials, tribulations, frustration, love, and hope. I highly recommend this book."
