Customer Reviews

You Don't Have to Have Been Raised Catholic in Chicago to Enjoy ... But It Helps!

My Angel's Name Is Fred will capture and hold your fancy and fill you with the awe and wonder of growing up. The stories are forthrightly and unapologetically nostalgic -- a nostalgia everyone who's grown up Catholic can share in. Byrne's humor and masterful storytelling will be enjoyed by all. Vivacious, sensitive, and wise, this is a book you'll want to read again and again.

A MUST for Irish Catholics!

This book will make you laugh, and bring back memories of nuns, priests, & "the parish". The author is brilliant in his descriptions. A fun book!
