Kevin O'Hara recreates his boyhood with these wonderful stories of
growing up in Massachusetts in the 1950s and 60s as one of eight
children. His parents, born in Ireland, came to this country for
their children's sake. His family struggled against grinding
poverty but they never gave up and never lost their faith that God
had a plan for them. Kevin learned the lessons of making do and
making things last, and what the true riches of the world are: good
health and the love of a united family. These lessons grounded him
as he reached adulthood...and was sent off to fight in the jungles
of Vietnam as a reluctant solider. This book will tug at your heart
and make you cry tears of both sorrow and joy. It is a story about
the Irish American experience, but it is much more - it's the story
of a generation growing up in the shadow of the Second World War
and the start of a new age of hope and promise, a time when people
believed that anything was possible as long as you dared to dream
and had faith in yourself. And a little Irish luck couldn't hurt
either.
