After spending the first forty-eight years of his life in Brooklyn, William Quinn has retreated to a secluded, and undisclosed location deep in the woods of Northern Michigan, where he finds it's possible to reminisce and reflect on the experiences of a long, hard, and varied life that has stretched from the halls of academia, to the halls of tenement crack houses, and many divergent paths in between.

Liberty is a playful reminder of how the games children play, and how the 'hand that rocks the cradle' can shape the politics, freedom, and the future of a nation. The story opens on a Brooklyn street, and gives us a glimpse into a culture that's all but forgotten, if not forbidden, and the society that culture had fostered. It's the perfect book to have with you if you're stuck in the house on a rainy day, or if you just want to remember how we used to be.
