Music has been a constant thread throughout Michael Doyle’s life. Written over more than three decades and professionally recorded in Britain and Nashville, these songs explore many of the same themes found throughout Sane Inside Insanity—faith, hope, love, loss, redemption and the resilience of the human spirit. Several songs feature directly within the memoir trilogy, providing another way of experiencing the events, emotions and ideas explored in the books.
