Forty
plus years in the making, The Brown and White is a fictionalized memoir
that tells the story of Collin Callaghan's freshman year at a Chicago Catholic
High School. Collin is a white boy who is living in turbulent times in a
changing city. He clings to his neighborhood and his family as he heads out
each day with his classmates on the Brown and White, the ancient school bus
driven by free-spirited Willie. Memorable characters abound as this story
unfolds. Collin's loveable family, especially his Irish Catholic policeman
father and his Irish immigrant mother face life together. Collin and classmates
blaze their own humorous and passionate trail through the late 1960s. A unique
cast of terrific teachers are there to see the boys through. Laughs and life
meet readers head on as they travel on the Brown and White.
