Episode 158: Elizabeth Smith on her book The Coin Flip (April 16, 2025)

In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Elizabeth Smith on her book The Coin Flip. A shattered dream, heartbreak and inner turmoil, what next? Joe Quigley, a seventeen year old, left Ireland to come to America in 1857 to fulfill his dream. Along the way, he met a friend, Jim McDermott, who shared the same decision. How does life continue when it’s turned upside down? Perhaps God intervenes with some unexpected surprises. This 130 novel is based on a true story of my great-granddad. My hope is that it will be an inspiring, “WOW” story for all readers, one that depicts the greatness of Our Lord and refreshes our souls with trust.https://www.thecoinflipbook.com/
