Fulcrum: An American-Irish Tale

A fictional neighborhood called Shamrock in the historic city of Boston is the setting for this American-Irish drama. Set in the immediate postwar period, Fulcrum portrays the lives of six teenagers who see their traditional neighborhood changing and wrestle to find a response that will be true to their roots and to their conscience. The tale is set against the backdrop of a classic Red Sox-Yankees pennant race, an old-fashioned urban mayoral campaign and the passion of football in autumn, all intertwined with the powerful presence, teaching and piety of the Catholic Church. Fulcrum is an epic blend of Field of Dreams, The Last Hurrah and The Bells of St. Mary’s all rolled up into one. ”This novel shows how families can cope with problems by having faith, family and friends.” --Gerry Faust, head football coach, University of Notre Dame (1981-85)
