This book is written as a novel, but is based on a true story: the family saga of seven children born into a loving family in rural Ireland in the 1930s. It will take you on a journey through their early lives, when tragedy struck, and they were ripped away from their loving family and sent to the industrial schools system. It covers their lives, trials, and tribulations, until they are old enough to start work. There is a lot of laughter and tears, but overall this is a story of survival.
