California – February 27, 2025 – After a distinguished career in medicine, David Holmes turned his attention to something just as vital—the recollections of events that shaped his life. In Whiskey Point and Methodists, he takes readers on a deeply personal journey through generations of family history, weaving together memories, reflections, and the rich cultural landscapes that defined his upbringing.
About the Book
At its core, Whiskey Point and Methodists is a book about family-the people who raise us, the histories we inherit, and the moments that shape who we become. Holmes looks at two worlds so different: his father, Irish Catholic, son of Chicago’s South Side grit; his mother, devout Methodist, daughter of Oak Park, Illinois. Through their story, he portrays themes of resilience, love, faith, and the ways in which family traditions both clash and blend over time.
Drawing from old family letters, personal recollections, and historical records, Holmes brings to life the struggles and triumphs of past generations. From the stockyards of Chicago to quiet Midwestern towns, from war-era hardships to the simple joys of growing up, Whiskey Point and Methodists is a heartfelt tribute to the people and places that made him who he is. The book moves through time like a family photo album, filled with stories of sacrifice, perseverance, and the small but meaningful moments that define a life.
About the Author
He has spent many years as an interventional cardiologist dedicated to healing others. But he has always had a way of storytelling, and after retiring from medicine, he started writing to help preserve the past and explore the present. His poetry and essays tend to be more about nature, history, and the ties that bind families together. He now lives in the Swan Valley with his wife, where he continues to write, reflect, and share the stories that matter most.
Holmes’s writing is not about grand, sweeping histories—it’s about the little things that make a life: the laughter at the dinner table, the lessons passed down from father to son, the traditions that evolve but never truly fade.
