Born to poor parents in late nineteenth century Dublin, William Le Petit's life was never going to be easy.

But when circumstances force him on to the streets to beg, he has no idea where his journey is going to lead him.

To live a normal, happy life, he will have to leave everything behind, his mother, his home, even his name.

But will it be enough? And can anybody really get over such a traumatic start in life, become a success and turn it around?

In a family saga spanning a century, Le Petit: A Life Remembered, highlights the difficulties of late nineteenth century Irish life, and the inequalities that led to where we are now.
