Secrets, Shame, Suspicion, and Terror upend the author's childhood. Thumbing her nose at them, she delves into her ancestry, determined to uncover the truth about her family's past- a truth she hopes will elevate her stature. Out of the gate, she runs smack into a Rogue. But not even a Rogue can hold her back.
After winding through the Colonial New England frontier and the free-for-all ambience of early 1900s Chicago, she lands in 19th century County Kerry, Ireland. It's there that her relatives play key roles in the most peculiar collection of events in local memory. With two men in jail and two in the graveyard, one relative makes a furtive escape the likes of which only Mischief can devise. Serendipity and spotlight-grabbing cows play pivotal roles in exposing this history whose exploration sprang from Nanny's teatime stories in 1960s America.
An irreverent and fanciful, yet fully factual, tale of the spirited search for the author's Irish roots in Knockaderry.
