Black Rock - Paperback

by John G. Jung (Author)

Black Rock is a coming-of-age story about a gang of children living in a largely white urban neighborhood in the 1950s and 60s, filled with immigrants from Europe, generational poverty, and families with marginal incomes, where they experienced threats to life and limb from local bullies. But they also experienced the best times of their lives. The concept of living on the wrong side of the tracks was never a concept that these children felt growing up. Then that all changed when three black families moved into the neighborhood.
