Fiction, Paperback
It was her funeral, and she wanted all of them to be there --not just the family but her ex-husband, old boyfriends, and that 'special' girlfriend of her niece. But who was that man taking photos of her in her coffin?
Mandy Flanagan was an Irish girl from Boston with a zest for life who eloped to New York City in 1924. When both her marriage and hopes for Broadway stardom failed, a chance encounter led to a career in radio and music. Her life was a lively journey, an unconventional drama, rich with lovers and odd characters. As the mourners gather, they swap stories, share secrets and watch her last performance end in a puff a smoke.
