Description
The Black Suitcase by John E. Morrison is a powerful and poignant account of an Irish boyhood marked by joy and horror. Growing up in poverty in mid-century Limerick, Seanie Morrisey's life was shaped by the struggles of his single mother and the harsh realities of the world around him. Despite the hardships he faced, Seanie found moments of beauty and freedom in the simple things - a penny at his First Communion, a warm meal brought home by his mother, or a day spent fishing for eels in the River Shannon. However, when Seanie was thirteen years old, a single mistake changed the course of his life forever. This book recounts Seanie's story with a unique and expressive voice that brings to life the joys and horrors of an Irish boyhood thwarted by a cruel system. Supported by chilling historical documents, The Black Suitcase makes the unimaginable personal and painfully real.
