Irish Mongrel Child

Conceived with passion and lust by a handsome paratrooper and an Irish American woman with alburn hair and smokey gray/green eyes, and reared 'by the book' with unfettered freedom, common sense, and nonsense, the Irish Mongrel Child experienced and understood the essence of life by age eleven: love, trust and evil.. With the best of intentions, her mother rejected her at birth, left her outside in a storm to experience the beauty of lightening, and weaned her overnight when she was exactly nine months old. This is a laugh-out-loud romp through the life of a child who began work washing beer glasses at age four and declared herself a vegetarian the same year. It's a love story during a time when life was simpler, when children were free to roam, explore, learning as they went..
