Billy Gogan, American: A Novel

Life is harsh in mid-19th-century New York, where 15-year-old orphaned Irish immigrant Billy Gogan lands to make his way in the Five Points, the city's greatest slum. He learns about political corruption, love, and the ephemeral nature of being as he faces forces much stronger than himself. His pluck and wits keep him a step ahead of disaster while he chases his dreams.
