All Souls' Night -- Freedoms -- Ghetto heaven -- Fight the power -- Looking for Whitey -- August -- Holy water -- Stand-up guy -- Exile -- Justice -- Vigil.;This searing coming-of-age memoir is set in "Southie" where gangster Whitey Bulger runs the drug business, and class and racial violence erupt in response to forced busing in the 1970s. MacDonald [the author] loses four siblings to drugs, poverty, and violence, and eventually attempts to transcend his grief as he becomes an activist in the Southie he can't help but love.-http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir.
