"When a failing grocery business and a diet of pickles and beer force George Burke into retirement, his 15 year old son Benny steps in to support the family. Filled with enthusiasm and confidence, Benny enlists the aide of Willis Hamilton, a genius from Harlem, and Pablo Sanchez, a natural born salesman from one of Manhattan's Puerto Rican neighborhoods. The 65th Street shop soon becomes a wholesale warehouse and management center for a chain of cooperative groceries." - St. Martin's Press
