Confessions of the Meek and the Valiant

By Steven R. Porter

Riley Lynch, a smart yet shy Irish-Catholic kid from Southie, secures a spot at a prestigious New York college igniting great pride in his big, close-knit family. But as Riley begins this new adventure, long hidden and disturbing family secrets begin to surface that make him question everything he was raised to believe and thrust him into an unexpected world of danger and uncertainty.

In this gripping story of love, loyalty, and self-discovery, Riley grapples with his family's dark illicit legacy as he confronts a new, ambitious mob leader rising to power. As his family's past collides with the present, Riley must rely on his wits and new allies to navigate the murky waters of his upbringing to choose between who he is... and who he truly wants to be.
Confessions of the Meek and the Valiant is a riveting chronicle of redemption, adventure, and a testament to the enduring power of love. Through the eyes of a young man torn between tradition and self-discovery, this fast-paced tale explores the complexities of identity and the lengths one will go to break free, or surrender, to the shadows of the past.
