In 1952, after a family breakdown in Ireland, a boy and his father arrive in Liverpool determined to follow their dreams.

The boy fails miserably at school but finds a way to freedom through his running ability. He goes on to win national and international races, proving to himself and those back home in Ireland that he can amount to something.

Eddie Forde’s entertaining and engaging memoir paints a vivid picture of a family’s struggle to survive constant moves around the city and his father’s impossible schemes to make their fortune.
