At twenty-three, Jamus Cork's plans are simple-graduate college, stay in New York City, and write. But those plans change when his parents are suddenly killed and he finds himself the guardian of his little brother, Nick. Jamus ends up back in the Boston neighborhood where he grew up, with a crying toddler on his knee and the challenge of building a new life for himself and the boy. Jamus somehow finds a way to navigate the ups and downs of single parenting, but over a decade of raising Nick, Jamus never truly overcomes his struggles with loneliness and the guilt he feels as the sole survivor of the crash that killed his parents. That changes when he meets bookishly handsome Sean Malloy. There's a spark between the two men, but both must face down their own private demons to find love in the Irish enclave of South Boston.… (lisätietoja)

Jamus Cork's life has not gone in the direction he'd planned. When his parents died while he was in his early twenties, he became the guardian for his younger brother. Though he's experienced some success as a writer, everything he's done since then has been for Nick. Friendships, relationships, love: those are all things he's denied himself out of obligation and an intense guilt he's carried for years. Sean Malloy is the youngest in a traditional, South Boston Irish family. He's stood out as different from the rest of his family all his life, through his academic pursuits, his love of books, and his resistance to pressures to date and marry. He's just moved back home after taking a teaching job at a prep school. His focus on school has allowed him to ignore some of the things about himself that he's not just ready to face. But when Sean and Jamus meet in church, there's an instant connection and all of their secrets threaten to spill out at once.

In the realm of understated family drama, this book rushes to the front of the pack. There's the dynamic between Jamus and Nick, which has all kinds of complications, and then there's the Malloys, who all take things a little bit differently as they come. There are also some glimpses of a completely different family dynamic through Nick's friend, Matt. The things we do for family, those ties that bind us together--those are the things that really matter, even if they might mean something different to each person or manifest in different ways. But it's important that we notice and recognize the ways people show they care, even if it might not always be the way we would show it or the way we would prefer.

Overall I liked this book and the story line. I feel like it was well written and treated with the respect it deserves. I connected with the characters from the beginning and I was invested in what happened to them. I would read this book again and I would recommend to those that wouldn't be offended by the content. Great book, 4 out of 5 stars. ( )
