OFF THE BEATEN PATH — 12 DAYS OF IRISH 2009 — DAY SEVEN — ALL SOULS


And you thought your family was a mess ...















Michael Patrick McDonald spills his heart, his guts and his blood onto the pages of this tragic, viciously funny and deeply moving Irish-American family portrait.

That's it. That's all I got.

Read it and weep. And laugh. And realize that, hey, maybe your fucked-up family ain't so bad after all. At least they're .. ya know ... alive.

This book is stunning.
