“With great affection and narrative skill Kevin O’Hara brings back an era that needs to be remembered–a moment common to many Irish Americans.” —Mary Pat Kelly, author of Galway Bay

“Kevin O’Hara’s memoir of being Irish and growing up in small-town America of the Fifties and Sixties captures the time, the place, and the ethnic family values with such an unerring eye that you’ll hear the bands on the Fourth of July, taste Mallow cup candies, share in the cadences of the rosary–and smell a young draftee’s fear in the horror that was the Vietnam War. This memoir is a tour de force.” —Patrick Taylor, New York Times best selling author of An Irish Country Doctor

“A story of growing up Irish and American that will stir deep emotions in every reader. Read it now and enjoy the movie later!” —Thomas Fleming, winner of the Lincoln Prize for Lifetime Achievement in History; and the New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Trial of Robert E. Lee
