by Sean Patrick

Book Overview

one of our favorite authors

Have read his short stories about real life people and experiences for many years. Always delightful.

Easy to Pick Up; Hard to put down

I can count on one hand the titles of the books I have been unable to put down, and this is one of them. I went in search of more when I read Sean Patrick's column in Catholic Digest and found short, but full, chapters in the life of a true boy - basically faithful to his religous upbringing, but full of mischevious adventures. It reminds me of Roald Dahl's book, "Boy" - another I couldn't put down.

Heartwarming nostalgic stories.

This book is a treasury of wonderful stories that will make you laugh and cry and wish that you had known this family personally. I am only sorry that I finished the book so quickly. I hope that Mr. Patrick will soon be compiling another book from his Catholic Digest columns. READ IT!

A book that will touch you heart.

This book will touch your heart. This was my go to lunch alone book. I had enjoyed Sean Patrick's column in Catholic Digest. So I went looking to find anything else that was written by him. It's not Bible thumping but it is inspiring. Makes you wish you grew up in a big family. Each chapter is a story of it's own. 6 Irish brothers growing up with their widowed mother. It will remind you of your own youth, sibling love. READ THIS BOOK!!
