The Irish still matter in San Francisco. This book of stories deals with the contemporary relationship of the Irish-Irish and the Irish-Americans in that city. Usually humorous, sometimes painful, other times a combination of the two, that relationship remains an important and extremely soulful one.

I was literally moved to tears by some of the stories, transported by all of them into a world of Irish nuns, immigrants, mad poets, white-collar workers, errant priests, lawyers with, of all things, a heart..." -Malcolm Margolin
