Les Edwards (illustrator). Baltimore: CD (Cemetery Dance Publications):, 2012. First edition, Hardcover, New in dust jacket, 287 pp. Cover artwork by: Les Edwards "Gutsy 17-year-old Albert 'Shoe' Horn is an apprentice plumber and part-time boxer in England in 1922, but when his mother dies, he finds himself responsible for an abusive, alcoholic father and a younger brother with special needs. This marvelous novel follows the indomitable Shoe's day-to-day survival with poetic grit, cynical genius, respect, and deep affection as he navigates a world full of very real characters: the gentle giant McAvy, his slave-driving boss, the Irish louts that resurrect his temper, the tempting ladies who seek him out, his hilarious plumbing clients, and the formidable 'Dropper,' who Shoe fears will take away the most true thing in his life, his brother."
