The Joyce Girls of Brooklyn: Rebecca, Ruth, Deborah, and Rachel
By Jim Farrell
()
About this ebook
So opens this wonderful family saga.
Narrated by the youngest, Rachel, the writer, this is the story of the four daughters of Irish Catholic Judge Joyce, a very influential man in Brooklyn, set in the middle of the twentieth century. What a problem their father’s Catholicism created in the Cummings household.
Rebecca, the corporate attorney, Ruth, the teacher and homemaker, Deborah, the singer, and Rachel, the author. All successful, all beautiful, but all so different.
Grow with them, laugh with them, cry with them, love with them as they mature from little girls, to young ladies, to mature women. Experience their joys, their pains, their lives and relationships with all the highs and lows.
You will love returning to an idyllic time, a time gone by, but very much alive in our memories.
