Pulitzer Prize winning "Angela's Ashes" is probably one of the most amazing books in the world. It tells the story of an impoverished Irish family struggling to survive disease, lack of funds and social shunning to gain a better life. The story, which was an autobiography & later turned into a film, was written by Frank McCourt who unfortunaely passed this weekend. If you haven't read the book or seen the movie I highly recommend you do. Two of the most profound pieces I've ever encountered. Watch the trailer below:
