Snake Music is a coming-of-age story set in the 1940s and 1950s in
an inner-city Catholic neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan. The
author, J. Patrick Reilly, describes his struggles to cope with his
mother's near-fatal descent into mental illness, his father's
alcoholism and early death, his family's desperate financial
straits, and a devastating accident that crippled him for several
years. In the midst of these challenges, Snake Music shows the
redeeming power of a loving mother, good humor, and a love for
music. Reilly reveals an old and terrible family secret and its
multigenerational consequences, while telling his own story through
the eyes of the boy he was at each stage of his memoir. Snake Music
makes the reader laugh out loud, and sometimes cry.
