When All is Said by Anne Griffin

Maurice Hannigan is a man at the end of his life and as people often do, he is sitting in an Irish pub reflecting on his life. Honoring the five most important people to him, he drinks a toast to each and reflects on why they influenced his life. With wit and Irish charm galore, Maurice's past begins to unfold. With every tip of the glass, we begin to understand what drove this man and the twists and turns his life has taken. Where some see a grouchy old man on a bar stool, we see a proud, ambitious man who quietly tried to help some around him and exacted vengeance who tried to wrong him. A man who loved deeply but couldn't show it to the ones who needed him most. Anne Griffin's debut gives a voice to all those Irish gents out there pushing through the day and then erasing it with a dram and a story at night.
