The Coin Flip
A shattered dream, heartbreak and inner turmoil, what next?
Joe Quigley, a seventeen year old, left Ireland to come to America in 1857 to fulfill his dream. Along the way, he met a friend, Jim McDermott, who shared the same decision.
How does life continue when it’s turned upside down?
Perhaps God intervenes with some unexpected surprises. This 130 novel is based on a true story of my great-granddad.
My hope is that it will be an inspiring, “WOW” story for all readers, one that depicts the greatness of Our Lord and refreshes our souls with trust.
