Description

Liam Kelly is a young, disadvantaged youth, born in to poverty, blamed for the death of his father and for that reason is despised by his mother. Kate Doherty is a "good girl" from a loving family who becomes intrigued and eventually captivated by the young Liam. Outwardly they have all the hallmarks of a perfect couple but the secrets and lies caused by their rampant secret life slowly infiltrates and infects all those involved. Spanning the thirty years between the Great Depression and the swinging Sixties, Liam and Kate's lives are influenced and and changed by the tumultuous events around them, felt even on the shores of one of the world's most isolated and richest countries. But as the story weaves through the historical events unfolding around them, it becomes apparent that their own emotions, fears and actions have a greater and more immediate effect than anything the world itself can produce.This first selection covers the period between the Great Depression and the post-WW2 boom days of the late 1940's. Our two protagonists are cut from the same cloth but perceive and react to the pressures around them in markedly different ways. Judgement is withheld and the book does not try to glamorize or decry the acts described, instead leaving it up to the reader to make their own determinations on the rightness or wrongness of the unfolding story. It is about the things we all know so well but are rarely spoken. Based on factual stories, the characters are never the less fiction, created from a composite of tales of sexual and emotional abuse told or witnessed by the author over many years. This is not a book for the squeamish or the prudish but there is humor among the pathos, joy alongside the pain and hope as well as despair, all tied up with that greatest of human motivators, love in all its forms, manifestations and perversions.The story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this book are fictitious. No identification with actual persons (living or deceased), places, buildings, and products is intended or should be inferred.
