“Fadó is a book that is good for the community. A thoughtful, well-documented account by a gifted writer who breathes life and personal meaning into history. He cleverly ties events - both big and small - in the context of family experience and insight. His stories are told with humor, grace, and page-turning enthusiasm. A tremendous achievement. Full of surprises. I couldn’t put it down!”
