About this Item

Paperback. My Uncle is an Irish-American tale about murder, justice, and the struggle for redemption. The clash between what God desires and what a man does seldom runs true, with tragedy lurking around the corner. After all, this is an Irish story. It begins in Dublin, Ireland, 1831, as five generations come to terms with heartbreak and the Irish sacrament of guilt. An elegant Boston watering hole, "Seamus and Padraic's," is the story's soul with compassion sitting next to violent death at the bar. The protagonist, Killian, aka Uncle, arrives on the first day of spring, 1900. A prodigy, soldier, and adventurer, as well as the reincarnation of his grandfather, both men at constant odds between terrible deeds and their Catholic faith. Uncle and his precious bar come to a "last call" in the spring of 1972 with the arrival of the Irish Republican Army; guided by treachery, and concluding with bullet-ridden bodies. Only the nephew will survive to tell the tale as a ghost awaits him. This item is printed on demand.
