Born illegitimate 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, and more children follow, they live hand-to-mouth in squalid, clothed in rags and forced to beg for food. The author tells the story of her early life without an ounce of self-pity.
