内容简介：
A fictional neighborhood of Shamrock in the historic city of Boston is the setting for this Irish-American drama. Set in the immediate postwar period, "Fulcrum" portrays the lives of six teenagers who see their traditional neighborhood changing and wrestle with a response that will be true to their roots and to their conscience. The tale is set against the backdrop of a classic Red Sox-Yankees pennant race, an old-fashioned mayoral campaign and the passion of football in autumn, all intertwined with the powerful presence, teaching and piety of the Catholic Church. "Fulcrum" is an epic blend of "Field of Dreams, The Last Hurrah" and "The Bells of St. Mary" all rolled up into one, and destined to be a classic of Irish Catholic fiction.
