Stories at the Kitchen Table

In this captivating and often humorous collection of short stories, Katherine Brady recounts the true stories of her late father Terry, bringing them to the page from the table around which the family used to gather. The tales come from Terry's days as a Marine probie cleaning the latrine with a toothbrush, youth spent getting into trouble in small-town Massachusetts, his days fishing with family and friends, and more, offering a portrait of the man and many life lessons (even if the lesson is often what not to do). Brady honors her father in the honest and human portrayal of him and ensures his memory-and his stories-are carried to the next generation.
