Book Event: Concrete Leprechaun

This is no fairy tale.

The year is 1977. The Bronx is burning. Buildings are crumbling. But in the middle of all that chaos, there’s a kid trying to figure out who he is—caught between his Irish roots and the streets that raised him.

Not every pot of gold is at the end of the rainbow. Sometimes it’s buried in concrete. Discover why readers are celebrating the humor and grit of this semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story, calling it captivating and a powerful narrative driven by well-developed characters. 

Join the New Castle Historical Society for this special book event with local author Steve Walsh. Enjoy light refreshments and hear Steve read excerpts from his debut novel, Concrete Leprechaun. Attendees are encouraged to buy the book from Amazon.com and bring their copy to be signed!
