Big Bite is not your usual memoir. It’s 87 short stories beginning with Lee Lynch’s sex education in the seventh grade while working at the drugstore in his hometown of Belle Plaine, Minnesota where he learned Kotex is not a dinner napkin. A heartwarming immigration and wedding story, three escapes from death, and how he helped change the national law on the use of the polygraph. The final story is his obituary announcing that his memorial service will be a fundraiser.

Strange places, weird people and the luck of the Irish.
