If Walls Could Talk: Home Town Tales, Sagas, Stories from the Heart

Some of the stories in this book, the author confesses, are true experiences and some of them are entirely fiction. You do not know which is which, but you do get a clear picture of what happens when you give a laptop keyboard to a man who has the mind of a well-trained spy. Like O'Henry, Mr. Fickey weaves together myriad pieces and comes up with a whole picture that, at the end, often has an element of surprise.
These are stories about ordinary people who find themselves in unordinary circumstances. Or are they? The people that ordinary? The circumstances so unordinary? You begin to wonder. Could it happen here? Charles Joseph Fickey has a way of urging you on to the next story, in which you hope you will find out.
