Kevin O'Hara&nbsprecreates&nbsphis boyhood&nbspwith these wonderful stories of growing up in&nbspMassachusetts in the 1950s and 60s as one of eight children. His parents, born in Ireland, came to this country for their children's sake.&nbsp&nbspHis family struggled against grinding poverty but they never gave up and never lost their faith that God had a plan for them.&nbsp 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.&nbsp All these lessons&nbspgrounded him&nbspas he reached adulthood… and was sent off to fight in wilds of Vietnam as a reluctant solider. This book will tug at your heart and make you cry tears of both sorrow and joy.&nbsp 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&nbsppeople 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.
