For those who knew him, the name Patrick McCarthy brings to mind
images of Irish wit, integrity, determination, success and true
friendship. Like the authors that he admired, Og Mandino and Paulo
Coehlo, Pat had a unique ability to restore a friend's self-esteem
and to convince him that he truly is one of God's profound
miracles. His stories are skillful and accomplished-strongly
influenced by his early years in Pittsburgh, his devotion to his
Catholic faith, his wry sense of humor, his success in the
pharmaceutical field and his personal battles with alcoholism,
family tragedy and pain. The book is a memoir in form, whether true
or fictional, with short stories from past and present. Pat had a
rich and varied background which adds to the interest, quality and
humor in this book. He lived from October 21, 1948 until his tragic
death on his 60th birthday in 2008. He was a driven, goal-oriented
man whose success allowed him to retire at an early age. During the
course of his career in the pharmaceutical industry, he worked
relentlessly to provide for his family, whom he loved dearly, as
well as to bring sorely needed cancer drugs to patients suffering
from the disease. There are 14 short stories in "The Sacred
Fraction," some laugh out loud funny and others meaningful and
wise-exactly akin to the man himself.
