O knihe

'The Life and times of Joe Walsh' is Volume Eight in my 'Tales from Portlaw' series. It is a story of failed relationships, broken promises, unfaithful marriages, lesbianism, betrayal, murder and revenge.

Joe Walsh is an only child whose father rejects her at birth. Her mother always dreamed of becoming a writer but her husband forbade such. Joe's mother is abandoned by a cruel husband and decides to escape her unhappy marriage in Ireland and begins life anew in England as an unmarried mother in the 1950's.

Mother and young child come to Liverpool where they face discrimination as foreigners and being a single parent. Over the years, Joe's mother re-establishes herself, goes through a bogus church blessing to be identified as a married woman and pursues her long held dreams of becoming a writer.

Estranged from her parents, Joe's mother finds true happiness once again in the arms of a friend's husband, before setting up house and home in Haworth, West Yorkshire.
