An interview with Billy Coffey, author of The Devil Walks in Mattingly   What can’t be laid to rest is bound to rise again.

Everyone has a past and has made mistakes, but what happens when those secrets grow and control our lives? “We can all be hampered by our pasts, but that in no way negates the power of choice that’s available to us all.
