Songs and Stories from a Canadian Yooper - Paperback

This is the third book in a trilogy, enjoying, while examining the adventures and memoirs of several generations of one American family, the McCarthy's. It is seen through the eyes of its Author Mike McCarthy. It's set amidst the times of nostalgia of the 1950's, then through the Author's own personal journey of his alcoholic addiction, and finally, his Songs and Stories, he weaves looking back on his life, and some of the amazing recollections of it. 'The Sounds and Smells of My Childhood', 'My Road to Sobriety', and 'Songs and Stories from a Canadian Yooper', each are cut from the same thread with a similar purpose that integrity and gratitude matter. I hope you enjoy reading them.
