The Other Way Home by David Carlin PDF Summary

Book Description: The Other Way Home unfolds in the overlooked city of Paterson, NJ, hovering between its street crime below and corruption above. Just as the Silk City's many ethnicities and suburban towns are pulled into its nexus, so are the diverse characters, saved and unsaved, pulled into the personal maelstrom that has overtaken the life of a crooked young Paterson detective. West Side Story meets Training Day meets A Bronx Tale. Here is the best thing to come out of Jersey since The Sopranos. The time is 2004, the year the Curse of the Bambino was broken. The baseball symbolism is not lost on the main character, a former center fielder, who desperately needs to break a curse of his own. The young Paterson cop is living a bitter life of dead dreams, having given up a promising baseball career to save his dysfunctional family from addiction and ruin. Caught in a seeming trap of chaos, corruption and ingratitude, he finds himself being lured into the sordid world of crime and drugs, taking his own part in the very activities he has taken an oath to fight. He has become a dirty cop. Sean Connelly, raised in what was once a cheerful suburban home knew something about love -- until it was ripped apart by illness and alcoholism. With his mother terminally ill, his father lost in a haze of alcohol, and no one to care for his aimless younger brother, he sacrifices the one dream he has strived for his entire life: a chance to play center field for the New York Yankees. His dream is dead. To earn a living he becomes a cop, and carries his resentment along with his badge. He partners with Luis Polanco, an impulsive but fearless detective of many talents -- and illegal connections. The two form a strong bond, close to brotherhood, where their mutual frustrations over life and work lead them into the lucrative but dangerous heroin trade. He can live with himself until he falls in love. Chance and duty bring him to the aid of Annerys Castillo, a Dominican woman of arresting beauty and tender spirit in distress. Their unlikely encounter quickly evolves into a deep life-affirming romance, marred by one inconvenient obstacle: Her father is dead and her brother estranged from the very activity into which Sean has recently immersed himself. It is the thing she hates. He must tell her or get out, but can do neither. So close to redemption, he is only pulled down further into an abyss of his own making, caught between good and evil, wondering which angel whispering into his ear will have the last word.
