The first time that Timothy Brennan went into downtown Pittsburgh alone, he thought he saw his father. When the man kindly assured him of being a stranger, Timothy was deeply embarrassed. He was also determined to find the dashing Bart Brennan, who had failed to take him to the circus nearly seven years ago and had not been in Duffy's Rocks again. No one in Timothy's closely knit Irish family was in sympathy with his quest, not even his cousin Mary Agnes, closest in age to his thirteen years and herself half an orphan. But Timothy had to persevere - for surely if he could find his father, he would also find his father, he wouldn also find the beauty and wonder that the pinched gray life under the physical pall of the Great Depression lacked so completely. Edward Fenton has written a very human and very absorbing story with all the bone-deep aching as well as the hopefulness of feeling young and incomplete. The dj is in a clean condition with some minimal edge wear, especially at either end of the spine and several small tears in the back cover.
