4.0 out of 5 stars Church and Class in a steel town, July 18, 2000
By "farmerwolf" (Philadelphia, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This novel tells the story of a young working class boy's developing conscience as he lives life out in a steeltown. While Benedict's dilemmas sometimes seem a trifle precious and overwrought, the author brings the character off in a way that endears the reader to him even while finding him sometimes annoying. This title should be of interest to anyone who enjoyed Thomas Bell's Out of the Furnace. It also deserves an audience from those interested in liberation theology.
