Before I read this book, I thought it was going to be about about the author's Grandfather's Uncle, a story about him. Instead, this is a story about a man affectionately called Big Philip, who was the father of the author. This book is very well written and as I read the story, I felt that the author wrote each word in it from his heart and meant every word. Since his father meant so much to him, he wanted others to in a sense KNOW him. What a beautiful way to share this life of this very special man and what a difference he made in his family's life.After reading this story, I realized how important it is to tell family members NOW before they pass over how important they are to me. Love is what we will remember and the happy memories like Mr. McQuillan has shared in this truly heartwarming book.Grandfather's Uncle was a gift to me in exchange for my reading it and reviewing it. And I am very pleased to say that I very much enjoyed this book and recommend it to all!
