Michael Aloysius O'Reilly

I was fortunate enough to receive this book free from the author and I'm really happy that he chose to share it with me.

Michael Aloysius O'Reilly has written a wonderful story. I sometimes had to remind myself that it wasn't my family I was reading about. Growing up in a big Irish Catholic family on the southside of Chicago, there was a lot I could relate to in this book. The Sullivan clan, things they said, places they went, and the trouble they got into, reminded me of the stories I've heard from my Mom and her 11 brothers and sisters. It made me nostalgic of my childhood spent visiting "the old neighborhood". It really made me miss my grandparents.

I didn't want this book to end. I enjoyed being a part of Patrick's 40-year journey. This book is a must-read for anyone Irish Catholic... I dare you to not find similarities between the Sullivans and your own wacky clan.
