I just discovered that author Frank McCourt died at the age of 78 last Sunday. I read his book, Angela’s Ashes, years ago. Most of you know that I don’t read many non-fiction titles, however, Angela’s Ashes reads like a novel. It’s a humorous story about a boy growing up poor in Ireland. There is great sadness in the story, too. When people tell me that they want to write a memoir then I always direct them to Angela’s Ashes. If you want to know the full story about McCourt’s death, you can read about it here.
