Author and proud Irishman Bill Jermyn explores life in historically hard times as he details his youth living in a developing country. From threshing corn, to what Ireland is like as a homeland, to the role religion plays in culture, readers will get a glimpse of true Irish life. And while Catholicism acts as a keystone to Jermyn\u2019s early days, it\u2019s not long before the deeply traditional influences on him are impacted by things like the hippie generation and modern technology. After attending boarding school and university, and working in Dublin, Jermyn sets his sights on travel and adventure . But even within his adulthood stories lies a unique understanding of how childhood shapes your life and why knowing where you\u2019re from will lead you to where you\u2019re meant to be.
