Description
Hard Knocks and Soft Spots by Paddy Doherty is a deeply honest autobiography that explores the complexities of life as an Irish traveller. As a child, Paddy felt like an outsider, struggling to find his place within his own community. He turned to bare-knuckle fighting at a young age, earning him a reputation as one of the most respected men in the travelling community. However, beneath the surface of his success lay a lifetime of personal struggles, including depression, addiction and loss. Paddy's story is one of resilience and survival, as he navigates the challenges of family life, mental health and social isolation. With humour and warmth, he shares his experiences, revealing the complexities of a life lived on the fringes of society. This book offers a unique insight into the world of Irish travellers, and Paddy's journey is both heart-wrenching and inspiring.
