“…but few are chosen,” is the story of three boys coming of age in the mid-1950’s. Growing up in working class Irish Catholic neighborhoods in the northeast U.S., they are desperate to escape lives of loneliness, petty crime and violence. At 13, ready to enter high school, they each come to the same decision to enter a seminary. The book chronicles Mike, John and Ollie’s fears and frustrations, hopes and dreams while they proceed on their unique path to adulthood.
Join us Wednesday, May 8 at 6:30 p.m. in Taylor Community’s Woodside Building as John Tuohey, one of the three authors of this book, presents a lecture about this story. This event is free and open to the public.
