Author James Redfearn will discuss his book "The Rising at Roxbury Crossing". The novel follows Boston police officer Willie Dwyer, who is haunted by a decade-old secret, a
secret he carried to America. Swept up in the tumult of post-war 1919,
Irish-American immigrants, the backbone of Boston's police force work
grueling 60-100 hour weeks for about $2.00 a day. In Ireland, the
Republican Brotherhood wages a guerrilla war with England for national
sovereignty, supported by Boston's Irish neighborhoods. Frustrated by
political promises, Boston's guardians strike for fair pay and better
working conditions. And as the city erupts, Willie Dwyer's nemesis
crosses an ocean and comes to hunt him down.
