This heartfelt memoir chronicles the author's journey from Donegal, Ireland, to London in the 1980s when Ireland was crippled with high unemployment, mass emigration and political violence. It paints a vivid picture of the struggles faced as an emigrant - beginning with the search for employment and accommodation. Interwoven are moments of love and loss, capturing the author's quest for stability and purpose, the inevitable derailments from this path and the redemptive return to it. The narrative culminates with love and a return to home.
