About this ebook

Bouncing Back is the inspiring story of Michael Flynn, a struggling furniture salesman from Pearse Street, who reinvented himself to become Ireland's favourite retailer. With the inner city that shaped him at its core, it's the story of his enduring close bond with his family and the communities that have supported him along the way.

With Dublin heart and entrepreneurial spirit, this hilarious and, at times, heartbreaking memoir is filled with joy and sadness, love and lifelong friendships, mad adventures and meaningful moments.

Bouncing Back is a testament to never giving up, no matter what life throws your way.
