Item description from seller

Jacket illustration by Russ Hoover. Scarce hardcover, viii + 198 pages, NOT ex-library. Gentle creasing, darkened upper corner of the half-title page, else little internal wear. Book is clean and bright, untanned, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps. Firm binding with strong hinges. Boards show faint staining to the lower and upper spine edges, a touch of yellowing to the upper and lower edges. Dust jacket with minor tearing, unclipped, very good for its age. -- "Those who have never entered Brandan O'Nolan's world are in for a rare experience when they meet him in Mary Wallace's The Bright Windows.

Brandan moves fast, goes far, and accomplishes miracles where saints and angels would hesitate to try. In founding St. Brandan's School - a home for boys in trouble - he talked old Dermot Conley, a non-Catholic, into donating land and buildings for the school. Brendan's tactics were honesty, persuasion and sheer force of personality. Once the school is a reality Brandan tackles the man-sized job of coping with his unruly, rebellious charges.

And, on the other side of the coin, he brought Jeff Warren - the son of wealth - to the school against Jeff's will. In the end Jeff risked his life for the thing he loved best - music - which Brandan was able to bring to the fore. Underlying this unforgettable story is the love story of Brandan and Elaine. Their love, which is like pure gold, is one the reader will not be likely to forget. Beneath the sense of joy each brings to the other is a thread of Gaelic sadness, the sound of Gaelic poetry, the old songs of Ireland and the Aran Islands. This is a memorable story of a modern-day, but all too human, saint.
