This amazing compendium of true stories from the life of Freddy Fagan is an ode to how the citizens of Clinton, TN have loved him. In the chapter on Random Observations, author Ray Oliver asks "How does a person capture the essence of Freddy Fagan?" Oliver did a pretty good job of it in this book. "He unifies. He inspires. How? By being himself. By being uninhibited. By singing even when he doesn't know the words." The story of this mentally challenged man/child will make you laugh and cry. Will make you see why Freddy says, "Me God pals."
