With radiant insight, he opens up a contradictory world, where residents are besieged by gangs and crime but refuse to admit any problems, remaining fiercely loyal to their community. MacDonald also introduces us to the unforgettable people who inhabit this proud neighborhood. We meet his mother, Ma MacDonald, an accordion-playing, spiked-heel-wearing, indomitable mother to all; Whitey Bulger, the lord of Southie, gangster and father figure, protector and punisher; and Michael's beloved siblings, nearly half of whom were lost forever to drugs, murder, or suicide. By turns explosive and touching, All Souls ultimately shares a powerful message of hope, renewal, and redemption. 87220 1999 All Souls: A Family Story from Southie (Ballantine Reader's Circle) total:1793|5:34|4:36|3:15|2:1|1:0| 1793 7303 2303 258 105687 034544177X 9780345441775 1672 239 4.07 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171558335m/105687.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/105687.All_Souls_A_Family_Story_from_Southie 5 2 false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Jul 01 12:53:49 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 09 20:29:50 -0700 2007 more...]]> 105687 034544177X 9780345441775 1672 239 4.07 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171558335m/105687.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/105687.All_Souls_A_Family_Story_from_Southie 4 2 false Sun May 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun May 11 16:15:28 -0700 2008 Sun May 11 16:23:11 -0700 2008 more...]]> 105687 034544177X 9780345441775 1672 239 4.07 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171558335m/105687.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/105687.All_Souls_A_Family_Story_from_Southie 5 1 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 16 17:43:06 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 18 07:14:56 -0800 2008 more...]]> 105687 034544177X 9780345441775 1672 239 4.07 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171558335m/105687.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/105687.All_Souls_A_Family_Story_from_Southie 5 1 false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon May 14 19:24:00 -0700 2007 Mon May 14 19:25:20 -0700 2007 more...]]> 105687 034544177X 9780345441775 1672 239 4.07 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171558335m/105687.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/105687.All_Souls_A_Family_Story_from_Southie 0 1 false Fri Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Wed Jun 06 09:49:22 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 06 09:49:22 -0700 2007
