Description

When his father is fatally injured in a strange car accident close to their rural Massachusetts home, 12-year-old Sheldon Horowitz is still mourning the tragic death of his mother, which occurred only a year earlier. Sheldon, who was in the vehicle, survives the collision as an orphan hell-bent on retaliation in 1938. He brings that fire with him to Hartford, where he begins a new life under the austere Uncle Nate's roof. With the Second World War competing for attention with a hurricane in New England, comedians in the Catskills, tradition and orthodoxy, appeasement and patriotism, mafia hitmen, and angry accordion players, Sheldon, his teenage cousins Abe and Mirabelle, and his best friend Lenny, will face these challenges. Sheldon makes his way in a world he now realizes is mostly made up of crimes-right and wrong, big and small-with his constant focus on exacting revenge for the death of his father.
