...Michelle, Marie Tifo is generous in body and spirit, a woman who likes to laugh and doesn't mind being laughed at. She takes what she needs and gives what she can, and expects no favors from anyone. She earns enough to pay for the roof over the heads of her brother and daughter, and to keep Guy in beer, but if she couldn't she wouldn't despair.

...history of racial prejudice becomes so much a part of us--it becomes the easiest defense we can muster. Sadly, the cliches too often come true, especially in Boston and Cambridge. Egleson makes no pretense of solving the dilemma for this neighborhood. There were no guard railings on the roof the night the boy fell; there are none to restrict people's behavior when it comes to race. It remains all too easy to fall over the edge--into the rhetoric...
