A COLONY OF SOCIAL TRUST In the middle of the last century, 62,000 Norwegian immigrants and their families dominated a section of Bay Ridge, a neighborhood in the borough of Brooklyn. Their primary distinction was expressed through social trust, a characteristic that is often uncommon today throughout this country and around the world. Adolf Hansen was born into this colony and lived there until he graduated from high school. His experience of trust began during his preschool years with trust in his mother and father; continued with trust in others in the colony throughout his time in grade school; developed trust more fully within himself in junior high, as others trusted him; and then evolved in his trust in God, and God's trust in him in high school. This development of social trust was not unique to this predominantly Protestant colony. It was replicated in the lives of his peers and their families, as well as thousands of others in the colony. Similar experiences were also present in the lives of Italian Catholics and Eastern European Jews with whom he connected in the neighborhood. Experiences of social trust are at the core of this book!

A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick The beloved American classic about a young girl's coming-of-age at the turn of the twentieth century. From the moment she entered the world, Francie Nolan needed to be made of stern stuff, for the often harsh life of Williamsburg demanded fortitude, precocity, and strength of spirit. Often scorned by neighbors for her family’s erratic and eccentric behavior—such as her father Johnny’s taste for alcohol and Aunt Sissy’s habit of marrying serially without the formality of divorce—no one, least of all Francie, could say that the Nolans’ life lacked drama. By turns overwhelming, sublime, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the Nolans’ daily experiences are tenderly threaded with family connectedness and raw with honesty. Betty Smith has, in the pages of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, captured the joys of humble Williamsburg life-from “junk day” on Saturdays, when the children of Francie’s neighborhood traded their weekly take for pennies, to the special excitement of holidays, bringing cause for celebration and revelry. Betty Smith has artfully caught this sense of exciting life in a novel of childhood, replete with incredibly rich moments of universal experiences—a truly remarkable achievement for any writer.

Chris, the protagonist, is a successful, middle-aged businessman who lives in an upscale Long Island suburban community. The novel begins in the present, in a chapel where friends and family have gathered to pay their last respects to Chris' father, Joe. Joe's dying regret is that he didn't do more for his son. Chris' internal conflict is that he believes his father's life to have been a failure - he raised his family in a coldwater flat, never earned more than a small wage, and did not have the means to buy expensive gifts... Chris feels guilty for not being more of a comfort for his elderly father. His preoccupation with chasing the dollar, searching for material success, led him to distance himself from his relationship with Joe and much of his family. At the funeral, a childhood friend of Chris' arrives leaving Chris to wonder what happened to the rest of his old gang. In the process of dealing with his father's death, Chris goes to clean out his father's apartment and finds a stash of old newspapers, obsolete 45 rpm recordings, old photographs, etc. He thinks - Is this it? Is this my inheritance? Big deal! Junk! He takes these "treasures" home with him and browses through this dustbin of his personal history, triggering a memory flash which takes him back to the summer of 1954. Chris goes back in time to the old Italian neighborhood in East New York, Brooklyn, where he grew up. The novel vividly portrays the strong values of a working class Italian American family and the interaction of family and friends. We meet his parents, Rosie and Joe, his grandparents, Jennie and Peppino, and an assortment of oddball and goofy, neighborhood characters, and a gaggle of relatives that willmake you laugh and cry. It's Brooklyn, of course, and what's Brooklyn without the Brooklyn Dodgers, Ebbets Field, and sandlot baseball. We get woozy on the Cyclone ride at Coney Island and "doozy" at the confraternity at Our Lady of Loreto RC Church, dodging
