Carry on in Laughter : Page Publishing, Inc. : 9781642989373 : 1642989371 : 16 Aug 2018 : Eileen weaves 18 non-fiction and fictional stories that bring generations together in friendship, fun, love and sometimes sadness. There is the pain of a parent's early death, a caring relationship between a nurse and a young hospital patient and then fun and games on a Manhattan street. She creates a montage of fictional stories showing love lost, an advertising executive longing for another life, a distraught homeless woman begging on the streets, a compulsive gambler struggling with his addiction and two childhood sweethearts reunited under dire circumstances. Magical times are described on the lure of New York City streets during the summers of the 1940's and 50's. The kids created their games without parental supervision. They would melt crayons inside bottle caps for street checkers. Thrown out broom sticks became stickball bats. Cell phones were not even invented then. For 11-year olds cari
