William is the main character. He idolized Francis, but not blindly; he and Career kept alive Francis’ tradition of whistling a tune to his dad from beyond the prison walls. He was a stray, but he cared for strays and turned a profit to it. This has a very Cat on a Hot Tin Roof feel to it, so it won’t appeal to everyone. I would add, though, that it finishes on a much higher note that Williams’ play. Pros: Historical detail (like newspaper articles) and well developed characters keep you turning the page to see what happens next. Cons: I kept looking for information about Dr. Radway's Sarsparilla Resolvent. It doesn't show up until about a third into the book, and is a very minor element of the story.

Flavored by the oddities of historic personalities and facts, Dr. Radway's Sarsaparilla Resolvent is set in Bush Hill, Philadelphia, 1871--home to the Baldwin Locomotive Works and a massive, gothic prison. Acclaimed writer Beth Kephart captures the rhythms and smells of an extraordinary era as William Quinn and his Ma, Essie, grapple with life among terrible accidents, miraculous escapes, and shams masquerading as truth.
