About This Book
Irish Wake: In Loving Memory of Us All is a collection of interconnected short stories, new and revised, peopled by car detailers, carpet cleaners, hospice volunteers, soldiers, teachers, fishermen and just plain real-life fictional folk with names like Michael, Devon, Jeff, Kathy, Cheryl, Sarah, Glen, Ben and Danielle. James Freeman's friend and mentor, now sorely missed, said of the manuscript of this collection: "Scintillating, heartbreaking and often heartwarming new stories by a master storyteller Freeman gets inside his characters like no one else. I am proud to call him my friend and fellow writer."—Bill Hotchkiss, Author of Spirit Mountain, Climb to the High Country, The Medicine Calf, and many, many others (1936-2010).
