Paddy

PADDY

Do we ever know what's really going on in someone's head?

Based on true events and set in the early 2000s, Paddy is a story about a young man from The Liberties in Dublin suffering with poor mental health, who travels to Amsterdam with his drug-dealing best friend and his anti-drugs activist brother.

The consequences of the journey are life-changing for them all.

The Liberties Trilogy is a series of stories about the values of characters who grew up in the heart of inner-city Dublin in the 1980s against the backdrop of high unemployment, a heroin epidemic, political corruption, an over-influential church, the Troubles and HIV/AIDS crisis.

PRAISE FOR PADDY:

"Paddy is a remarkable insight into the social narrative of the time, charmingly walking the double-edged sword of great personal conflict and the Irish sense of humour." – my sister-in-law

"If this book had been written in the eighties, it would have been banned." – my friend

"Every parent should read this." - my sister

"A whirlwind of emotions." - my other sister

"It's very raunchy, Christopher." – my 78-year-old aunt

"It made me cry." – my other half
