October book: When a Heart Turns Rock Solid, at ... ?

Just in time for Columbus Day, John "hosts" this month's book, a non-fiction saga of three Puerto Rican brothers' lives on and off the streets of Springfield MA. Author Timothy Black is a sociologist at the Univ. of Hartford. He met this family when the boys were in middle school and has followed/befriended/studied them for 20 years. The back cover promises "profound lessons regarding the intersection of social forces and individual choices [...] on the social and economic margins." It is a remarkable book about people and places you will most likely recognize. I encourage all to read at least some of it.
Location for this month's confab is TBA. I've decided not to clear my little front room here in Chicopee for you all.
