Fifteen streets


FIFTEEN STREETS
by Catherine Cook son
When, John O'Brien fell in love with Mary Llewellyn, he knew there was a gulf between them that nothing could bridge. The gulf of the fifteen streets. Life in the fifteen streets was tough and it is a continual struggle for survival. Some families gave up and descended into a dismal state of constant poverty. Others like the O'Brien's fought grimly for a world they were only rarely allowed to glimpse.
