Charity Case and Other Stories by Tom McCann This is the way it was. An uncomparable storyteller, McCann recreated Brooklyn, N.Y. in the 1940’s and 50s, but his characters come alive and touch your heart with their struggles. All true,yet timeless, we cringe at private school abuse in the title story, Charity Case and are fascinated at a glimpse of what really went on under the boardwalk at Coney Island. Each memorable story is written with a keen sense of charachter, as well as heart. If you weren’t there then, McCann will transport you back in time. “I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed CHARITY CASE. It is so good.” Anita Shreve, Author (The Pilot’s Wife, Body Surﬁng, The Weight of Water, and others.) “I was deeply affected by the stories...so full of humanity and heartbreak. They are real people struggling to overcome the hand they were dealt or the hand they dealt themselves or just to enjoy what comes their way.” David Boeri, Award Winning Radio & TV reporter WBUR Boston’s NPR news station “A beautiful job, CHARITY CASE was a powerful story.
