The true story of one American family's life in Ireland. Once a dream of living in the Emerald Isle and how it turned into a life of Spite, Begrudgery, Poverty and complete & utter disappointment.

As far back as I can remember my Father was particularly proud of his Irish heritage. As a little boy during the late 60's & early 70's, I remember how the radio every Sunday was tuned to the "Irish Hour" which featured a selection of Irish music, interviews with Irish personalities of the day and announcements of Irish events in the area. This wouldn't have seemed so out of place if we hadn't been living in Los Angeles, California. But like most American families, we proudly displayed our roots. We were Irish and that was it. The interesting thing though, is neither my parents or their parents were born in Ireland.  Apparently that was a moot point.
