Born different, a boy struggles. His story draws you in. So, too, does his mother's relentless quest: from the fight for a suitable education and effective health care through the fight for his life as he enters the harrowing world of addiction. The boy's poetry--undiscovered in his lifetime--is intertwined, depicting the inner life of a person underestimated.
Facing bitter disappointments and often insurmountable obstacles, mother and son manage to cope with adversity, sometimes in opposition. Equally obvious is the bond between them, with their candid communications--laden with strife but not without humor--as evidence of that bond.
From the discovery of a drug that provided relief to the pure hell of addiction--exploited, humiliated, punished--and from homelessness and jail cells, to rehab and a wanderlust fueled by the relentless quest to belong, his young manhood is full of heartache, but marked by grit and determination and the capacity to love and forgive. The will to keep fighting.
Inspiring sensitivity for those who are different, compassion for those whose battles arise from uncontrollable circumstances rather than faults of character, this gripping story drives home the urgency for drug policy reform.

The material in the book has its genesis with Ireland's early relationship with Spain dating back to the eighteenth century when thousands of Irish emigrated from Ireland to that country. This in turn led to Irish immigration to the Spanish-Latin American colonies. The book then elucidates on the Spanish colonies of the Americas, from north to south, where the Irish travelled in significant numbers. It begins with Florida which had different Irish regiments such as the Hibernia located in Saint Augustine, Florida, and other North American States such as Louisiana and Texas, which at one point in time were all part of the SPANISH COLONIAL EMPIRE. It deals in detail with specific Irish colonies organized in certain countries such as Mexico, which had two fairly large Irish colonies, the McMULLEN and McGLOIN COLONY, also known as the San Patricio de Hibernia Irish colony and the Power and Hewetson colony, also known as the REFUGIO COLONY; Peru, which had an organized Irish colony and the most powerful family in the country at one point in time, the Grace family; and Brazil, which had Irish colonies on tributaries of the Amazon on both the north and south side of that mighty river. The largest immigration to all Latin American countries was to Argentina where several areas became predominately Irish. The book finally ends in the most southerly countries of South America, Argentina and Chile, where an Irish descendant became president of both countries--Edelmiro Juli n Farrell in Argentina, and Bernardo O'Higgins in Chile.

This is a mother writing about the people and major events in her life.
The book began as a legacy for my children with prayer-poems which I
have been writing for twenty years for my family's prayer-before-dinner
each Thanksgiving. Each family member has a verse written about their year.
On 9/11, I was working at New York-Presbyterian Hospital when the Towers
were hit and my staff hurriedly prepared our Intensive Care Unit to receive
victims. The horrible event resulted in the writing of a passionate poem which
also is included.
The deaths of three family members resulted in the writing of three elegies and
a troubled period of life resulted in a lengthy passionate work.
Spirituality and famiy history are the primary themes of the book. The book
follows an enlarging family as it has grown and developed over twenty years.
A number of works are devoted to solemn subjects, reflecting spirituality. There
are a total of 22 poems. The poems are diverse, many are solemn, some are
sacred, two are passionate and the Thanksgiving verses are true-to-life.

The UK's Changing Democracy presents a uniquely democratic perspective on all aspects of UK politics, at the centre in Westminster and Whitehall, and in all the devolved nations.
The 2016 referendum vote to leave the EU marked a turning point in the UK's political system. In the previous two decades, the country had undergone a series of democratic reforms, during which it seemed to evolve into a more typical European liberal democracy. The establishment of a Supreme Court, adoption of the Human Rights Act, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish devolution, proportional electoral systems, executive mayors and the growth in multi-party competition all marked profound changes to the British political tradition.
Brexit may now bring some of these developments to a juddering halt. The UK's previous 'exceptionalism' from European patterns looks certain to continue indefi nitely. 'Taking back control' of regulations, trade, immigration and much more is the biggest change in UK governance for half a century. It has already produced enduring crises for the party system, Parliament and the core executive, with uniquely contested governance over critical issues, and a rapidly changing political landscape. Other recent trends are no less fast-moving, such as the revival of two-party dominance in England, the re-creation of some mass membership parties and the disruptive challenges of social media.
In this context, an in-depth assessment of the quality of the UK's democracy is essential. Each of the 2018 Democratic Audit's 37 short chapters starts with clear criteria for what democracy requires in that part of the nation's political life and outlines key recent developments before a SWOT analysis (of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) crystallises the current situation. A small number of core issues are then explored in more depth.
Set against the global rise of debased semi-democracies, the book's approach returns our focus firmly to the big issues around the quality and sustainability of the UK's liberal democracy.
