Born a bastard to a teenage mother in the slums of 1950s Dublin, Martha has to be a fighter from the very start. As her mother moves from man to man, & more children follow, they live h&-to-mouth in squalid, clothed in rags & forced to beg for food. The author tells the story of her early life without an ounce of self-pity. ...

Aged thirteen, Martha is rescued by the courts from the clutches of her evil stepfather, Jackser, & her feckless mother, Sally. After numerous arrests for shoplifting, a judge rules that she is to be sent to a convent school with the instruction that she is to get an education. Her initial relief at escaping the abuse & neglect she suffered at home is, however, short-lived, as she soon realises that there are many forms of cruelty in this life. As she says, ' You can have a full belly, but your heart can be very empty.' Ostracised by the other children for being a 'street kid' & put to back-breaking work by the nuns, she endures a lonely existence, her only joy coming from the books she devours & her mischievous sense of humour. Desperate for love & a little place where she feels she belongs, Martha retains her compassion for others despite all that she has suffered & still continues to hope for a brighter future when she will be free to make her own way in life. ...

After a failed suicide attempt & recovery in the mad house, Martha is heading for France to be reunited with the one true love of her life. Father Ralph Fitzgerald rescued her from the streets when she was sixteen & was the first person to show Martha true love & affection. ...
