Easy to read. Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Mary Meehan and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Calvary Alley" by Alice Caldwell Hegan Rice is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Nance Molloy, a tenacious young girl from a struggling background in a run-down neighborhood, as she navigates her childhood amidst poverty, social challenges, and personal battles against both her peers and the law. The beginning of "Calvary Alley" introduces us to a vibrant and chaotic scene where Nance engages in a fierce tussle with her neighborhood rivals over ownership of a spade, a skirmish that escalates into an all-out battle between the alley's children and the choir boys from the nearby cathedral. Nance's fierce spirit and defiant nature quickly establish her character as a "tomboy" who fights valiantly for her rights, alongside her loyal friends from Calvary Alley. However, the consequences of their actions lead them into the juvenile court, setting the stage for themes of justice, childhood innocence, and the struggle to rise above one's circumstances.
