Guilty: James Kerrigan

Jim Kerrigan spent forty years navigating the corporate landscape as a pharmaceutical and biotechnology executive before turning his eye toward literary reflection. Guilty: Growing Up Irish Catholic marks his debut into the literary world. A poignant coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of a large family in the 1960s and 1970s, the book examines the subtle and overt ways Irish Catholic guilt influences a boy's development and adult perspective. By sharing his own roots, Kerrigan delivers a universal narrative that speaks to anyone attempting to reconcile their adult identity with the environment of their youth. He is currently retired and focuses his time on writing, playing in a rock band and performing community service. Jim currently lives in Doylestown, Pa with his wife Susan and son Jack.
