Reader reviews

A touching biography tribute from a best friend’s point of view. Best friends many times know us better than our families and partners, and yet they are still there through the good and the bad.

KevandViv

From the Pile is a loving tribute to a friendship of 30 years. Michael’s story is seen through the lens of his best friend, Neil. There’s no sugar coating here. Michael was flawed, but at his core he was kind and generous, and their bond was unbreakable

Elaine Herman

What a great insight into the life and times of people in NYC in the 90s and 2000s. A story about friendship between two men and the devastation of 9/11. We all have our own stories.
