In the shadow of the Great Depression, Francis Phelan, a man haunted by his past, returns to the familiar streets of Albany.

Accompanied by his companion Helen, Francis confronts the specters of his former life, seeking a fragile peace amidst the lingering regrets and the harsh realities of his present. This powerful novel delves into themes of redemption, memory, and the enduring human spirit in the face of profound loss and societal decay.
