Stoop to Conquer by John Michael Bolger

A coming of age story seen through the eyes of a troubled young man, Francis Doonan. This is a timeless tale, which takes you through the world of family disfunction, substance abuse, betrayal, first love, loyalty, and loss. It is a homage to the 70’s in New York City and the era that birthed Studio 54. The Eastside of New York meets the Westside in a confused, bumpy and often times frightening ride. Buckle your seatbelt, Stoop To Conquer is about one boys journey, but captures the heavy heartbeat of what it means to have the “human” experience.
