In 2016, the obituary of a man who lived an extraordinary life went viral. It began with the simple phrase, “Irishman dies from stubbornness.” The obituary detailed the unbelievable pursuits of Christopher Clifford Connors, leaving the internet begging to hear more about this incredible man.
His daughter, Caitlin, rose to the challenge, writing a stunning and poetic tribute to her late father that promises to captivate and thrill readers. Using the story of her father, she approaches living with grief and the challenges those who are left behind can face as they come to terms with the loss of a loved one.
Irishman Dies From Stubbornness
In 67 years, Christopher Clifford Connors did more with his life than most people could ever dream of doing. Released in June of this year, Irishman Dies From Stubbornness takes the reader on a journey through his experiences.
Christopher Clifford Connors did everything he could imagine wanting to do. He hunted bears in Russia, invented limo surfing, and even trained with Navy SEALs. Even things he didn’t intend to do, like surviving a shipwreck, became formative events in his life that most would never experience themselves.
Author, Caitlin Connors, uses this story and her own experience of grieving for a parent to talk about how to honor a lost loved one while learning what to do with the life and time people are given.
“Chris Connors lived seven extraordinary lives in one, full of adventure and misadventure, Irish humor, friendship, and family. I knew him for just over a year, his last one. Told with a daughter’s heart and a poet’s ear, I loved every page, spending time with Chris again, smiling as I imagined the twinkle in his eyes, knowing he’d want Bradley Cooper to play him in the film adaption,” Lisa Genova, New York bestselling author of Still Alice, said.
Dr. Joe MacInnis, the author of Deep Leadership, added, “This is a hilarious, honestly human novel about a wild Irishman. Caitlin Connors’s irreverent stories will make you laugh between the tears.”
By using her own emotional experience with loving and losing her father, Caitlin Connors helps teach others how to work through their pain and enjoy the little things in each day they live.
