Description: In 1952, the author left behind a childhood of poverty in Limerick, Ireland, to head for the promise of America. He carved out a place for himself in New York City: in the saloons, on the stage, and on television. Eventually he found he had not left his memories as far behind as he had thought, having no choice but to turn and face his past.
