About this book

In South Brooklyn in 1969, church deacon Sportcoat's confrontation with young Deems Clemens leaves neighbors searching for an explanation. The historical novel draws together residents of the Causeway Housing Projects, where church affairs, baseball memories and personal quarrels shape their competing theories. A familiar community figure becomes the subject of gossip that reveals the neighborhood's many overlapping relationships.
