"This is more than a charming Irish memoir. The voice of a spirited young girl sets the perfect tone to deliver Irish history, the determination of a family to make their way into another country, and the importance of music." - New York Times best selling author Jacqueline Sheehan. "A delightful and satisfying read" . - The Jamaica Gleaner A captivating memoir that vividly brings to life growing up in a large, quirky and ambitious Irish immigrant family during the Depression and War time in Australia. After years of periodic imprisonment in Ireland for their fight for independence, John and May O'Carroll immigrated to Sydney, Australia with their family in 1930. Told through the eyes of middle child Maureen, one of ten children who went on to become an acclaimed cellist, the story chronicles a family's determination to thrive in their new home. Throughout this colorful memoir infused with Irish history, local politics, religion and the humorous struggles of Depression-era life, music remains a vital theme: It is instrumental in the family rising above their hard circumstances to achieve a better life. Written by the mother-daughter team of Maureen O'Carroll and Leora O'Carroll, the memoir offers a poignant and engaging story of family, resilience and the transformative power of music.
