SUMMARY:Author Stephen O'Connor
DESCRIPTION:Author Stephen O’Connor has added another title in his collections of books based in Lowell.\nThe Pride of the Acre is a coming-of-age story. Charlie Tumulty passes out of a difficult childhood to find love\, success in the boxing ring\, and with the help of two valuable mentors\, self-awareness and a love of reading. The road to Charlie’s Olympic boxing goal\, and to the love he yearns for\, is fraught with difficulty. A hard decision has life-altering consequences and forces him to the threshold of an even tougher decision. What is the price that vengeance owes to a love cut short? And who will pay it?\nO’Connor is the author of several other books\, including two short story collections\, Northwest of Boston and Smokestack Lightning and the novels The Spy in the City of Books and The Witch at Rivermouth.\nGather this afternoon to hear Steve read from the book. Stick around to chat and have your book signed.
