In this book, “From The Desk Of Maine,” John Cross relates his best path in Boston and beyond. From Jamaica Plain to his service as a court clerk and volunteer advocate, his tales overflow with raw emotion, humor, and compassion. With love, loss, personal growth, and the search for justice, Cross’s story presents a moving examination of human nature. Through wins and defeats, his musings illustrate the complexities of reality and the lasting strength of understanding and changelessness.
