Two Walls and a Roof

Set in Ireland and America, this book is full of struggles, drama, and dreams, it's Irish Stew for the Soul. Our house was an alleyway that had once been walled up front and back, and then roofed, probably in the late eighteen hundreds. It was a tiny house in a tiny town called Buttevant on the tiny island of Ireland, five thousand miles away from Missouri in the United States of America, and my life would bridge that gap in a truly miraculous way.Inside that house, almost on a daily basis, an extraordinary drama was played out between a father too fond of the drink, an inspiring mother, and their six ordinary scrawny children. Like numerous others of that time, those six children were destined for a big fat nothing, but, that was not how it turned out.
