After the Fire: Love and Hate in the Ashes of 1967

Product Description 
“After the Fire is a tour de force on love in a place and time that made love all but impossible. Jerry Izenberg takes us onto the mean streets of riot-scarred Newark. We meet heroes and fools, scheming politicians, Sinatra, Mafia bosses, and a beautiful Juliet with her All-American Romeo. More than once, Izenberg’s story will leave you breathless.” — Dave Kindred, author of Sound and Fury, a dual biography of Muhammad Ali and Howard Cosell 
From an award-winning author comes a historical novel of forbidden love in a time of social upheaval. 
Newark, 1968. Junior Friscella, Montclair State football star and Italian North Ward hero, has a bright future ahead of him. His family and friends adore him. He doesn’t expect to be blindsided by Mickey Washington, a tough, smart black beauty from the wrong side of town—or to fall completely in love with her. 
Mickey Washington, raised by a single mother in the Black Central Ward, works hard to contribute to her family, put herself through college, and make her mother proud. Italian golden boy Junior Friscella is the very last thing she needs. So why can’t she stop thinking about him? 
Still recovering from the 1967 riots, Newark seethes with racial tension, corrupt politics, and rival mob families jostling for influence—and is the wrong place and the wrong time for Junior and Mickey. When their relationship becomes public knowledge, neighbors turn on neighbors, family members refuse to accept them, and racially charged violence meets them at every turn. Junior takes a bullet for Mickey, and his family must decide whether to stand up against a city on the brink of riot or push him to break off the relationship. 
Junior and Mickey believe their love is more powerful than the hate swirling around them. But can they ever find acceptance and peace in a world that wants to tear them apart?

"After the Fire is a tour de force on love in a place and time that made love all but impossible. Jerry Izenberg takes us onto the mean streets of riot-scarred Newark.

More than once, Izenberg's story will leave you breathless." --Dave Kindred, author of Sound and Fury, a dual biography of Muhammad Ali and Howard Cosell\n"Jerry Izenberg over many years has maintained a position as one of America's finest sports columnists. It comes as a welcome surprise, indeed, that, in After the Fire, he establishes himself as a very fine novelist. The taut drama of a bi-racial love affair and the machinations of ward politics and mob influence in Newark in the turbulent '60s is riveting from beginning to end or, in another context, from the first pitch to the final out." --Ira Berkow, Pulitzer Prize winner\n"I became Champ because I looked out for sneaky punches; This novel by Jerry Izenberg both KOd and fascinated me because I didn't see such beauty and intrigue coming straight at me. Hold on to your seat and read." --George Foreman, two-time Heavyweight Champion of the World\n"I am a native of northern New Jersey and vividly recall the year 1967 when Newark was burning and multiple factions of both good and bad people were pitted against one another. . . . The fear was real. Jerry Izenberg, a Newark native himself, does a great job recounting these troubled times." --Bill Parcells, Jersey bred and twice a Super Bowl champion
