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. \u003cbr\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e ​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. \u003ci\u003eFrank's Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Doug McIntyre is the long-time columnist for the Southern California News Group which includes the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Daily News\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOrange County Register\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the creator of \u003ci\u003eRed Eye Radio\u003c\/i\u003e heard nationally on hundreds of radio stations.
