The Last Shamrock: A novel of the Great Depression

by Jim Pitts

Homeless ragtag refugees from the Great Depression stumble along different paths to become ex-Broadway chorus girl Bridie O'Driscoll's guests at the abandoned All Saints Convent. Among them:An ex-convict with no last name, a once-wealthy widower with three sons, a gun-toting ex-speakeasy owner, lonely women and their children, a pimp and his young prostitute, several orphans, an affable alcoholic doctor, a farmer and his able wife. A modern Dickensian tale, The Last Shamrock is the heartwarming and often heartbreaking story of a diverse group of humanity thrown together in a rambling, fifty-room nunnery: "a clean, dry place where the rent never comes due," Bridie tells her guests.
