Losing Felicitas tells a personal story of growing up in a neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago and then moving away from it in 1969. St. Felicitas is the name of the Catholic parish that was the center of that neighborhood, and "felicitas" reflects what those who moved away feel they lost - it means blessed, happy. To the children of St. Felicitas, moving felt like losing the sense of blessed happiness they had growing up there. This is also a story of blockbusters, neighborhood associations, the Catholic Church, and street gangs in Chicago during the 1960s.

In Part One, the author shares her memories of this time, along with stories that her classmates shared with her. Born in 1954, they remember an idyllic early childhood, as well as the fear and violence they gradually came to accept as a normal part of their lives. Part Two provides a brief history of the issues impacting St. Felicitas and the South Side during this era.

Elegant Hand Clutch
Color: Champagne Gold-satin
Phone will indeed fit inside, beautiful to carry or put on the chain, color was a little lighter than I thought champagne would have been; however, it worked very well. Will last for years details were very good.

Ok bags for the price
Color: Cream-woven
Disappointed gold looks cheap. Gold edging is very thin looking. There’s no puff at all to the weave. Returning the one with gold trim. *** Now, for the one that they call White with the silver trim this to me has a nicer look. The white is not a true white so if you’re looking for a true white,as I was, this is not it. It’s more of an off-white creamy tone. Not white as pictured. The silver of the clasp has a slightly aged tone to it. I think it would be prettier if it was a shiny silver, Clasp is nice and smooth to open and close. On both colors. I do think the white is a nice summer bag and could be used casually with jeans and a T-shirt.

Doesn’t Look Cheap
Color: Silver-satin
Perfect purse for formal occasions. Fits nicely in your hand and has a strap if you want that look. Very pleased with my purchase.
