Minding Frankie


I finished this book last week. It is kind of a slow read, but has a great story. Set in Ireland, it is the story of a man who unexpectedly finds out one of his old girlfriends is having his baby--and is dying of cancer. The child is left in his care, and his life is turned upside down. He must learn how to get his own life in order, while trying to learn how to be a father at the same time. His family and the entire community rallies around him to help raise his little girl, and protect her from being taken away by a suspicious social worker. It is a story of growth and change, friendship, and love. It took me a while to get through because it is a bit slow, but overall it was a good read.
