Jim Farrell

Jim Farrell moved to Florida in June of 2013. After he arrived here, he completed his first novel, Brooklyn Boy, a semi-autobiographical novel about a young boy growing up in the 1940s and 1950s in Brooklyn and Long Beach, NY. When you read it, you will find yourself falling in love with the young Puertoricana, Anita Sanchez, the hero's young girlfriend. One person who does not love Anita is the hero's mother. The conflict between the boy and his mother creates compelling reading. Who will win in the end? The most often heard comment from readers: “It brings me back to my childhood. I loved it!”
