And the story seems too good to be true- except it is
Part memoir, part history, part travelogue- the book is well written and well paced, and the story seems too good to be true- except it is! Allow yourself to be swept away by the author’s contagious (and justified) excitement over the return of Uncle Matty’s rifle.

A wonderfully personal account of a rich piece of American history…
A wonderfully personal account of a rich piece of American history; this story combines the life of a young Irish American kid in the Bronx with the harsh realities of a nation at war. A true delight to read; one gets a sense of the culture and style of the Bronx both during and post WWII; it is a reflection of a man who has embarked on a mission to understand more about his family, and his Uncle Matty, and through the process, discovered much about himself. Definitely worth the read, so many entertaining stories!!

The book flows easily with a few twists and turns and a surprise…
A fascinating personal journey from the rough streets of the south Bronx to the historic Normandy. a lot of interesting characters and stories along the way that will touch and move you in a patriotic and heartfelt way. the book flows easily with a few twists and turns and a surprise or two. highly recommend. Uncle Matty Comes Home is a terrific read and will hopefully be adapted into a movie format.

An incredible story unfolds following the discovery of a WWII rifle in Normandy 72 years after the death of the fallen paratrooper who carried it. Author Jim Farrell embarks on a personal journey to find out more about the life of the M1 rifle’s owner, his Uncle Martin Teahan, the 82nd Airborne Trooper killed in action following the D-Day invasion of France. The fascinating stories that develop from the moment on St. Patrick’s Day 2016, when word reached Farrell that Martin Teahan’s rifle was found, to the closure this family experienced when they symbolically brought Uncle Matty Home, will enthrall you...
