We leave shadows, not footprints. Newlywed Danny McKenna's honeymoon ends abruptly when he learns his father has died, uncannily, on the same day as his hero, Frank Sinatra. Returning home to his knotty Irish American family, Danny is confronted with a painful truth--while he knows everything about the famous singer, his own father is a mystery. Tasked with giving a eulogy for a man he hardly knows, Danny sets out to uncover his dad's past--an immigrant's tale of mid-twentieth-century America and the harsh realities of WWII lived in stark contrast to Frank Sinatra's famously extravagant life. Along the way, Danny's own demons nearly destroy him as he struggles to accept his father's deepest secret--a journey that takes him into the heart of darkness before he learns to live in the light. Fame, family, and forgiveness are among the many themes in Doug McIntyre's debut novel, a story full of vibrant scenery, gripping characters, humor, and profound moments of self-realization. Frank's Shadow is a deeply (sometimes darkly) human story wrapped in the trappings of a delightfully gritty love letter to New York City's less glamorous neighborhoods.
