{"product_id":"four-months-in-brighton-park-larry-ehrhorn-9780692928462","title":"Four Months in Brighton Park: Growing-up in the Sixties","description":"Set in a working class neighborhood on Chicago's southwest side in 1965, \"Four Months in Brighton Park\" focuses on Kelly Elliott, the kid with two first names. Kelly is a cross between Holden Caulfield and Walter Mitty, rarely facing reality until one day when he is forced to confront the consequences of his actions, when he impulsively makes an obscene gesture at Joe Swedarsky, the school jock and bully. That initial conflict starts a cascade of humorous and affecting dominoes that change his life.Being raised by his single, hard-working mother, Kelly stumbles through misadventures -- dealing with his mother's tyrannical pilot boyfriend, peer pressure, male curiosities, teachers, and friendships. Besides Ma, his guides through this journey include Little Joey, the legless owner of a local deli; best friend Jerry Hogan, Mary Harker, a troubled, mature woman; and Linda Martinsen, the quiet girl who found something likable in Kelly.The four month journey taken by Kelly provides insight, change, humor and empathy, elements of which all people are familiar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Ehrhorn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692928464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692928462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Madijean Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001","brand":"Larry Ehrhorn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517384765695,"sku":"9780692928462","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4bd9d60-1d39-44ce-b46b-9103714f3ce4.jpg?v=1778731637","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/four-months-in-brighton-park-larry-ehrhorn-9780692928462","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
