    About this ebook

    Come with me while I tell you about the love of a man and woman for each other, their family, friends, and country. I'll take you through the sorrows and joys of living through WWII and the heartache of Vietnam and the effect it had on the Ryan family of Brooklyn, New York. Meet their neighbors and the myriad of characters that frequent the candy store. Follow Helen and Jake Ryan through the changing demographics of their neighborhood and how they meet the challenges that come with change. Meet their daughters, and follow them as they grow and face the challenges of their own lives. Watch and see how common sense and compassion can head off a potential racial problem involving special-needs children. Enjoy the quarrels, the sarcasm, and the love of two seemingly ordinary people who change their neighborhood for the better.

      The night, as most nights, was like a dream. At ten, once I’d fed the dog the last scraps off the stove. Once I’d cursed the cat for scratching up my mama’s antique furniture, then welcomed him back into my arms. Once I’d slicked my hair into a ponyt
