From this first incident through many more Tommy both participates and observes humorous and sometimes touching developments in the pastoral lives of his father (Louis) and his mother (Mary).Ahead of their time in many ways, the McManus family has close ties to friends and associates in Baltimore, an even smaller village just across the river and a community of color.
