If they\r\ncan't pay, he treats them anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nBut in his own life, Delaney is emotionally numb, haunted\r\nby the slaughters of the Great War. His only daughter has left\r\nfor Mexico, and his wife Molly vanished months before,\r\nleaving him to wonder if she is alive or dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nThen, on a snowy New Year's Day, the doctor returns\r\nhome to find his three-year-old grandson on his doorstep,\r\nleft by his mother in Delaney's care. Coping with this\r\nunexpected arrival, Delaney hires Rose, a tough, decent\r\nSicilian woman with a secret in her past. Slowly, as Rose and\r\nthe boy begin to care for the good doctor, the numbness in\r\nDelaney begins to melt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\nRecreating 1930s New York with the vibrancy and rich\r\ndetail that are his trademarks, Pete Hamill weaves a story of\r\nhonor, family, and one man's simple courage that no reader\r\nwill soon forget.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Connies Bookshelf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42956219318488,"sku":"9780316340588","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/9099\/4904\/products\/NorthRiver.jpg?v=1655033332","url":"https:\/\/conniesbookshelf.com\/products\/north-river","provider":"Connies Bookshelf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
