Mike Carney, the oldest living native Blasket Islander, was born on The Great Blasket Island off the southwest of Ireland in 1920. Raised under challenging circumstances in that unique, isolated Irish-speaking community, Mike left in 1937 to seek a better future in Dublin - and eventually in America. A first-person saga, recounting one man's life but relating the experience of many, this memoir chronicles a lifetime devoted to family, community and legacy.
