In this sequel to the hugely-popular This Man's Wee Boy, young Tony
Doherty struggles to come to terms with the murder of his father,
Paddy, on Bloody Sunday and the impact it has on his mother,
Eileen, and his brothers and sisters. At nine years old, he knows a
terrible wrong has been committed against his family but lacks the
understanding or the means to do anything about it - yet. For his
fractured family, life goes on, with Tony determined to preserve
the memory of his father and the bond they shared, even as he
becomes increasingly immersed in the violent conflict raging on
Derry's streets. As the 1970s unfold his father's absence remains
the backdrop to the teenage Tony's newfound friendships and
relationships, an ever-present ache amidst the craic and excitement
of Sunday dances, first kisses and a trip to Butlins. Then, at
seventeen, Tony decides it's time to join the fight.
