Summary:

Set in 1942, Lost in Yonkers centers around Arty and Jay, two boys who must live with their terrifying grandmother and their somewhat simple Aunt Bella when their father takes a travelling job after the death of their mother. As we meet more members of the family, we come to understand the difficulties faced by a (mostly) average family making their way through a world of both pleasure and pain with grit, determination, and the love they share.
